Description: Ageing Societies examines the myths, challenges and opportunities behind these figures
Review Quotes:
'Ageing Societies ...is clearly written, wide-ranging and very well referenced.'
Times Higher Anthea Tinker, King's College London
This is a timely book, which in many ways provides the answer to those looking for a broad overview of the social, economic and policy consequences of demographic aging ... It must have been a considerable task to put together such a broad coverage, and Sarah Harper is to be congratulated ... In terms of readership, this book will be of considerable use to undergraduate students of gerontology and related policy areas. It is also likely to be a source book and a stimulus for researchers in a range of disciplines. Supplemented with regional texts on ageing and by other global overviews, I can foresee using this book regularly for my social gerontology courses.
David R. Phillips, Ageing & Society
