| Annotation | Growing Older is an Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) Programme. Its main aim being the generation of new high-quality scientific knowledge on quality of life in old age. This article serves three purposes. The first and main one is to introduce the ESRC Growing Older Programme and its research agenda. Secondly, it outlines the four main challenges confronting the programme and its research teams: the methodological one concerning "quality of life", the democratic one of participation, the challenge of communication and, ultimately, that of policy impact. Thirdly, the demographic and policy contexts that helped to create the programme and to which it must respond are also discussed briefly. (KJ/RH). |
