Sinopsis:

The population aged 85 and over has quadrupled since 1950 and will double again by 2010. By 2030, more than one in five Americans will be 65 or older. Women are "on the front lines" of the aging trend, not only because they make up a majority of the elderly and 74 per cent of the elderly poor, but also because they are the main providers of care - paid and unpaid - to growing numbers of frail and disabled very-elderly patients. This book explores the impact on women of the aging of the US population and the significance of that impact for the future of social policy in America.
