| Annotation | This American text is aimed at undergraduate students in social gerontology and sociology of ageing courses. With the inclusion of chapters on physiological and psychological perspectives on ageing, it will also be appropriate for multidisciplinary courses in gerontology. Theories of ageing as they apply to social institutions and ageing are discussed, in chapters which consider: families; employment and retirement; economics and the ageing of society; health and health care; and politics, government and the welfare state. The final section examines some of what is already known about ageing in the future, and speculates on issues facing ageing societies in an ageing world. (RH). |
