Resumo

En un nuevo contexto de escasez de recursos públicos y de debate acerca de su equitativa y eficiente distribución, este trabajo define tres marcos discursivos elementales sobre la relación entre el proceso de envejecimiento de la población y el Estado de bienestar: el marco tradicional welfarista de protección de la vejez, el discurso de la guerra entre generaciones y el marco de la nueva solidaridad intergeneracional. Se subraya cómo el discurso de la guerra entre generaciones en su modalidad neoliberal busca erosionar el modelo social europeo. Asimismo, se identifican elementos diferenciadores entre este discurso neoliberal y un segundo marco emergente construido también en torno a la idea de ruptura del pacto intergeneracional, pero progresista. Finalmente, se señalan temas para el desarrollo de la incipiente agenda de investigación en ciencia política sobre los efectos del envejecimiento.
