520 _aMarket-based care institutions for older adults reconfigure care as a commodity and facilitate a broader shift from embedded familial modes of ageing to more individuated and corporatised forms of ageing in place. These institutions are better understood as infrastructures of care that operate through an assemblage of material, organisational, and relational systems. In the process, they script newer formulations of what constitute legitimate and desirable ageing and how care for older adults is imagined, enacted and evaluated. Crucially, these infrastructures of care produce an uneven distribution of care, autonomy and security in later life, giving rise to stratified ageing.-Reproduced https://www.epw.in/journal/2026/9/ageing-health-and-social-security/stratified-ageing.html
