Synopsis

This groundbreaking text is the first to take a life course perspective, examining the relationship between the quality of one's life in old age and one's experiences, earlier choices, opportunities and constraints. The book gives students a broad background for understanding current policy debates through a distinctive chapter entitled Old Age and the Welfare State, and through boxed essays in every chapter called An Issue for Public Policy. The text integrates coverage of topics and issues pertaining to race, class, gender and culture.
