Issues in Aging takes an optimistic view of aging and human potential in later life; it presents the most up-to-date facts on aging today, the issues raised by these facts, and the societal and individual responses that will create a successful old age for us all.
Whether you are older yourself, have older parents, relatives and friends, or plan to work with older people, the information in this text will help you understand aging today.
Organization
This book first looks at large-scale social issues – social attitudes, the study of aging, and demographic issues. It then shows how these conditions affect individuals and social institutions. The book concludes with a look at political responses to aging and how individuals can create a better old age for themselves and the people they know.
