| Annotation | Older people are often portrayed as a growing burden that will bring down the health service, wreck the pension system, and overwhelm families and social services. "Understanding old age" is a global examination of ageing from the perspectives of politics, economics, migration, and health and social care. Attitudes to ageing in different cultures are considered; and dominant discourses are looked at critically. (RH). |
