A propos de ce titre

Synopsis

Reveals the mismatch between the availability of the strengths and capabilities of the rapidly increasing aging population and the shortage of productive and meaningful opportunities for these people to accomplish their potential. Examines the complex problems in bringing opportunity structures into greater congruence with what technology and medical advances have made feasible within an extended active life span and offers possible solutions.
