This upper level textbook provides a coherent introduction to the
economic implications of individual and population ageing. Placing
economic considerations into a wider social sciences context, this
is ideal reading not only for advanced undergraduate and masters
students in economics, health economics and the economics of
ageing, but also policy makers, students, professionals and
practitioners in gerontology, sociology, health-related sciences
and social care. This volume introduces the different
conceptualisations of age and definitions of `old age', as well as
the main theories of individual ageing as developed in the
disciplines of biology, psychology and sociology. It covers the
economic theories of fertility, mortality and migration and
describes the four main frameworks that can be used to study
economics and ageing, namely the life cycle, the overlapping
generations, the perpetual youth and the dynastic models.
