| Annotation | A Gender Politics of Ageing approach to the study of ageing societies is proposed. The approach recognises the feminisation of old age, ageism's roots in sexist discourse, and the need to recognise the role of politics in driving demographic debates. Drawing together arguments from feminist gerontology and political demography, the article argues that the intersection of politics and gender must be considered if appropriate responses to an older, feminised demography are to be produced. The author concludes that the work of ageing feminists provides a rich vein of research and praxis from which a gender politics of ageing approach can draw. (RH). |
