The article proposes a secondary analysis of three qualitative research studies on aging and related policies. The first study involved third-sector representatives and self-sufficient individuals over 65; the second included professionals, experts, political decision-makers in the care system, and family caregivers of non-self-sufficient older people; the third involved the staff and professionals of a nursing home. The hypothesis is that neoliberal contexts shape policies that influence both the allocation of care time for non-self-sufficient people and the individual time of self-sufficient people through an active and successful aging model. In this context, time is viewed as a normative apparatus for self-discipline for the autonomous and a control mechanism for non-autonomous people.

Abstract
The article proposes a secondary analysis of three qualitative research studies on aging and related policies. The first study involved third-sector representatives and self-sufficient individuals over 65; the second included professionals, experts, political decision-makers in the care system, and family caregivers of non-self-sufficient older people; the third involved the staff and professionals of a nursing home. The hypothesis is that neoliberal contexts shape policies that influence both the allocation of care time for non-self-sufficient people and the individual time of self-sufficient people through an active and successful aging model. In this context, time is viewed as a normative apparatus for self-discipline for the autonomous and a control mechanism for non-autonomous people.
