Description

Ageing Societies explores the realities and implications of demographic ageing in Western Europe and beyond. As half the population is projected to be over 50 within 25 years, this book examines the challenges and opportunities that come with an ageing population.

The author considers three key areas: the need for extended economic activity into later life, changes in modern families and their impact on care for the ageing population, and the biggest demographic challenge of all - ageing in Less Developed Countries where infrastructure is lacking. By combining bio-demography, sociology, economics, and development studies, this book highlights the potential benefits of an ageing population.

Ageing Societies presents a nuanced analysis of the opportunities that come with demographic ageing, including age-integrated workforces, increased labour mobility, intergenerational integration, and age equality. This book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in understanding the complexities of ageing societies.
