a focus on the case of Poland, where an ageing population poses a
crucial challenge for the state’s social, family, and
gerontological policy, this book explores ageing as a personal and
social phenomenon, considering the ways in which the experience of
ageing is shaped by younger generations’ attitudes, government
support policies, local initiatives undertaken help older people
stay active, and the ways in which the elderly themselves
understand their own mortality. Employing demographic,
philosophical, legal, psychological, gerontological perspectives,
it emphasises activities that can support older adults locally or
nationwide and proposes the development of a social policy and
social attitudes that can facilitate changes in the social
perception of ageing, together with a redistribution of resources
for older adults. As such, it will appeal to scholars across the
social sciences with interests in ageing and the lifecourse, as
well as those who wish to support older adults with concrete
solutions and familiarize themselves with the ageing process from
an individual and social perspective.
