Governments are encouraging later-life working and state pension
ages are being raised. There is also a growing debate on
intergenerational equity and on ageism/age discrimination. John
Macnicol, one of Europe's leading academic analysts of old age and
ageing, examines the effect of neoliberalism on the recent ageing
and social policy agenda in the UK and the USA. He argues that the
demographic and economic impulses behind recent policy changes are
in fact less important than the effect of neoliberalism as an
ideology, which has caused certain key problems to be defined in a
particular way. The book outlines past theories of old age and
examines pensions reform, the debate on life expectancy gains, the
causes of retirement, the idea of intergenerational equity, the
current debate on ageism/age discrimination and the likely human
consequences of raising state pension ages.
