In American metropolitan areas, many elderly people will have limited financial resources, leading to a growing number of seniors who struggle with poverty and financial insecurity. At the same time, federal funding for social services is shrinking, and local organizations will play a key role in supporting the low‐income elderly in American metropolitan areas. The concept of social resilience offers a useful starting point for understanding the mechanisms that hinder or enable local communities and individuals, in order to recognize and cope with the slow, continuous changes that these demographic shifts present. The objective of the study is to understand how metropolitan areas (by example of Phoenix, AZ) deal with the demographic changes of an aging population and increasing financial insecurity and inequality. The major findings for the research period from 2012 to 2014 show that local actors from the public and nonprofit sectors demonstrated involvement in the network of support for the aging population, where nonprofit actors are mainly dependent on the decisions and funding of the public sector, and increasingly rely on volunteer support.

金融不安全的老龄化：美国城市地区的社会适应力和适应

在美国大都市地区，许多老年人的财务资源将有限，导致越来越多的老年人在贫困和金融不安全中挣扎。同时，联邦用于社会服务的资金正在减少，地方组织将在支持美国大都市地区的低收入老年人方面发挥关键作用。社会适应力的概念为理解阻碍或使当地社区和个人受益的机制提供了有用的起点，以便认识并应对这些人口变化带来的缓慢，持续的变化。该研究的目的是了解大城市地区（例如亚利桑那州凤凰城）如何应对人口老龄化，金融不安全和不平等加剧的人口变化。
