| Annotation | It is argued that research has not reflected sufficiently the multifaceted nature of quality of life, and has relied too much on the judgements of professionals rather than older people. In general, quality of life research has under-emphasised the importance of material factors in people's lives. Research shows that relatively poor quality of life, as reported by older people themselves, is associated with only a minority and, among this minority, twice the proportion of older women to men. The Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) Growing Older Research Programme on Extending Quality of Life is outlined. The Programme will eventually provide information for policy makers and practitioners about the determinants of quality of life in old age. (RH). |
