Abstract

This research assesses the relevance of citizen input to support for age-related policy among local public officials. Viewed in terms of the manner in which citizens and public officials characteristically interact, there is no evidence of direct influence by elderly citizens upon local public officials. Regardless, these local officials are supportive of policy intervention on behalf of the elderly. It is therefore argued that greater research emphasis needs to be given to other considerations and other actors affecting public officials' positions concerning age-related policy.
