It is widely claimed that we are facing a 'demographic time bomb'
with an increasing older population and a decreasing working
population. On the whole there are three conflicting attitudes in
society towards older people. Firstly, there are those who see
older people as a 'problem': how can we afford their care? Will the
NHS be crippled by the expense of caring for older people?
Secondly, there are those who are concerned by the maltreatment of
older people: how can we protect older people from abuse? How can
we be sure they are receiving adequate health care? Finally, there
are those who argue that society is squandering the resources that
older people can offer and seek ways to empower them to play a more
active role in community life. These conflicting views of how to
approach the 'problem' of older people are also reflected in the
mixed response of the law. This book presents possible solutions to
these problems and highlights the need not only to protect older
people from abuse and poverty in order to ensure that they have a
dignified old age, but also the need to empower older people to
live their final years in an active and fulfilling way.
