Throughout the world's hinterland regions, people are growing old
in resource-dependent communities that were neither originally
designed nor presently equipped to support an ageing population.
This book provides cutting edge theoretical and empirical insights
into the new phenomenon resource frontier ageing, to understand the
diverse experiences of and responses to rural population ageing in
the early 21st century. The book explores the resource hinterland
as a new frontier of rural ageing and examines three central themes
of rural population change, community development and voluntarism
that characterize ageing resource communities. By investigating the
links among these three themes, the book provides the conceptual
and empirical foundations for the future agenda of rural ageing
research. This timely contribution contains 15 original chapters by
leading international experts from Australia, New Zealand, USA,
Canada, UK, Ireland and Norway.
