This title was first published in 2001. Older people have been
characterized by two mutually contradictory stereotypes. One the
one hand they have been portrayed as a powerful lobby, growing
demographically and able to demand large redistributions of the
nation's income in their direction. On the other hand they have
been typified as a marginalized group at high risk of poverty and
exclusion and, in a political context, largely powerless. This book
examines, using original research conducted by the Older People and
Politics Project (OPPOL) within Exeter University's Sociology
Department, the reality of the impact of the increasing number of
older people on the British political process. The project had
three main investigative concerns: how effective are pressure
groups and lobbyists for older people?; how is the power and
influence of older people perceived by older people themselves and
the general public?; and how are politicians responding to older
people and their needs?
