| Annotation | Nearly 25% of the 25 year extension of life has resulted from reductions in death after the age of 65. This lecture considers the revolution in longevity; compares social policy in the US and UK; and examines how we challenge traditional assumptions about old age and reinforce support for older people. Employment and educational opportunities, coupled with a fairer allocation of resources among the generations, are suggested. Age Concern Cymru Wales initiated and hosted Robert Butler's visit to Wales to deliver the inaugural lecture of what is hoped will become an ongoing series. The event was co-sponsored by the Welsh Institute for Health and Social Care. (RH). |
