| Annotation | The fields of gerontology and geriatrics are facing unprecedented changes, pressures and opportunities. The 21st century requires that we use contemporary approaches to modernising these disciplines for new populations, new cohorts and new social, economic and political demands. This article draws on the author's professional, academic and public policy experiences to suggest initiatives and paradigms that can set a road map to both change the 20th century's notions of longevity and social supports to one that accounts for technology, varied cohorts, a public/private sector divide, and the nexus of ageing and diversity.
