Abstract: In this Final Degree Project, a preliminary analysis of the public problem represented by aging is carried out, with the aim of facilitating the updating of its definition in the political sphere. Within the selected methodological framework, a problem tree is developed with the vocation to clearly differentiate between the causes and effects of the aging problem. This approach allows us to distinguish and contrast different agendas around the problem. It is observed that these, until now, have focused more on mitigating the effects of aging, and we will refer to them as PROaging agendas. However, more recent agendas are also identified and evidenced that focus their efforts on attacking the causes of the problem, which we will call ANTIaging agendas. We conclude that Spain's political and government agendas tend to overlook the ANTIaging agendas. This trend does not seem congruent with a general logical framework, nor with specific methodologies for designing public policies aimed at effectively addressing a public problem.
