| Annotation | Issues surrounding adaptation to ageing, and how adaptation can best be achieved, have been of central concern in gerontology. This book investigates adaptation to ageing in light of the theoretical explanations and empirical evidence bearing on gender differences. Firstly, the two main theoretical approaches to gender differences that have been used most widely in social gerontology are reviewed. Secondly, adaptation to ageing as a broad and cumulative process is examined, with a focus on the two life events that have been thought to pose the greatest challenges to adaptation in older age: the death of a spouse and retirement.
