| Annotation | Globalisation is a product of urbanisation and economic intensification which has escalated since the 1970s. Globalised markets have created many of the features of modern life including consumerism, increased cultural homogeneity, increased social polarisation, erosion of the sovereignty of nation states, and delocalised daily life. The consequences of globalisation for older people are primarily disadvantageous, most notably the restructuring of the redistributive economy. The globalisation of labour results in lower wages and marked social stratification. Also, family life is altered, with fewer relatives who must balance work and family obligations. (KJ/RH). |
