Social Welfare, Aging and Social Theory explores how we can
understand the changing relationship between social welfare and
human aging. The book begins by reviewing how historical changes in
society impacted on shaping emergence of scientific approaches to
understand and problematize and bio-medicalize aging as akin to an
illness and disease. The discussion moves to trace how particular
social science theories were developed to reinforce negative
perceptions of aging. The book also develops its own reflexive
approach with in-depth examples of social welfare in national,
international and global contexts in how aging is theorized in the
postmodern world were alternative possibilities can be encountered.
