The article explores the pluralization of biographical time perspectives in contemporary transition from adulthood to old age, focusing on the relationship between life-time structuring in late adulthood and the different ways in which individuals experience ‘biographical uncertainty’ at psycho-physical, economic and relational levels. Finally, the concept of ‘reflected uncertainty’ is proposed, to analyse the ambiguous effects of young people’s ‘biographical uncertainty’ on late adults’ own perspective. The discussion is supported by the results of qualitative research on Lombard 55—65-year-olds, in light of the Italian situation.
