Political Science, Public Policy, and Aging - Disciplinary Approaches to Aging (Hardcover)

The sixth volume in this six volume set looks at political science , politics, policy and aging. Aging is a high priority issue in public policy throughout the world.
Ours is truly the age of aging. We are on the edge of a demographic, social, economic, and health transition revolution which will globally shape life in the Twenty-First Century. Increasingly, the aging of the population is having vast social and personal impact, changing past perceptions of the life-cycle; the organization of health care systems; social security policy; economics of retirement; political elections; cultural and religious views on aging and death; intergenerational relations; the nature of family life; the structure of communities and attitudes towards death.
Aging is a multi-disciplinary problem. The effects of aging is an area of study with ever increasing importance to departments in the humanities and sciences, and it is a phenomenon studied by many disciplines hosting a range of related courses.
