The interest of this book (and previous Final Degree Project in Sociology) focuses on knowing, studying and analysing how older people age in some municipalities or small towns in Castilla La-Mancha, paying special attention to the female sector. It should be noted that this work is based on previous research and programmes such as CM:LEDYEVA (2009-2013) and ENCAGE-CM (2016-2019). The differences in the way of ageing between rural and urban areas (to simplify it into two areas) are more than notable, but if we add another variable of interest to this study, such as gender, the analysis becomes more complex but necessary. There is a lack of gender perspective that influences the fact that certain measures, programmes or interventions do not obtain the expected effectiveness in both groups equally, and therefore, ageing is not one hundred percent successful. This document seeks to understand these differences, how many women live and survive in rural areas characterised mainly by a lack of social and economic resources; and above all, whether there are equal opportunities for both sexes to age actively.
