Description
As the United States and the rest of the world face the unprecedented challenge of aging populations, this volume draws together for the first time state-of-the-art work from the emerging field of the demography of aging. The nine chapters, written by experts from a variety of disciplines, highlight data sources and research approaches, results, and proposed strategies on a topic with major policy implications for labor forces, economic well-being, health care, and the need for social and family supports.
Reviews
"...the book provides an excellent overview of the major topics subsumed under the title "demography of aging"...researchers will find the volume as a whole useful as a reference, source of research questions, and a guide to data sources." --Contemporary Sociology
