Abstract: The challenges usually associated with an ageing population are the financial burdens of pensions and on health services. However, there are equally important daily considerations, such as housing conditions, access to public services and the physical and social environment in which older persons live. Studies on this subject have shown that safety at home can protect health by reducing the number of accidents and lowering stress, which can add to quality of life at any age. Accordingly, this article explores aspects of housing and access to public services for the older population in Latin America. We selected Latin American countries that are at intermediate or advanced stages of the demographic transition, and Spain, which is advanced in the demographic transition and shares cultural roots with some of the countries selected.
