| Annotation | Cross-age interaction in Germany is discussed in the context of interest mediation, in this instance, the political system of parties and social movements, and the economic system of workers organising their interests through unions. Unlike in the US, Germany has developed little in the way of age-based organisations and lobbies for its older population. However, older people in Germany appear to have gained from both the political parties and the unions, who have taken up age-relevant issues. This is one of a series of eleven essays originally presented at sessions on age integration at both the International Sociological Association meeting in Montreal and the American Sociological Association meeting in San Francisco in 1998, and also adapted from a working paper issued by the National Institute on Aging (NIA) in May 1999.
