| Annotation | This special issue of Research on Aging comprises five articles on the theme of community context and ageing. First, the editor develops three reasons why community context to life-course and ageing research is important: inequalities in spatial distribution of the ageing population; meeting older people's service needs; and popular and scientific interest in the concept of social capital and income inequalities in health. The next three articles discuss in turn: gender differences in employment rates in later life; the role of the community context in immigrant older Korean Americans' living arrangements; and race differences in health. Lastly, reciprocity in ageing-related communal coping - engaging in mutually beneficial and supportive behaviour, a sort of "buddy system" - is considered. (RH). |
