As the global population ages, disability demographics are
shifting. Societal transformation and global health inequities have
changed who is likely to reach old age, who is likely to live with
disability, and the relationship between aging and disability in
various socio-cultural and geopolitical contexts. The
Aging–Disability Nexus breaks new ground by bringing gerontology
and disability studies into dialogue. This thoughtful examination
of competing narratives about disability and aging explores the
distinction between aging with a disability and aging into
disability, revealing how multiple identities, socio-economic
forces, culture, and community give form to our experiences.
