This book provides the first foundation of knowledge about the
intellectual traditions, contemporary scope and future prospects
for the interdisciplinary field of rural gerontology. With a focus
on rural regions, small towns and villages, which have the highest
rates of population ageing worldwide, Rural Gerontology is aimed at
understanding what it means for rural people, communities and
institutions to be at the forefront of twenty-first-century
demographic change. The book offers important insights from rural
ageing studies into today's most pressing gerontological problems.
With chapters from more than 65 established and emerging rural
ageing researchers, it is the first synthesis of knowledge about
rural gerontology, harnessing a burgeoning interdisciplinary
scholarship on the rural dimensions of ageing, old age and older
populations. With a view to advancing a critical understanding of
rural ageing populations, this book will have an overreaching
impact across the social sciences by drawing on advancements in
understandings of rural ageing from social, environmental,
geographical and critical gerontology to facilitate a comprehensive
exploration of the diversity, complexity and implications of the
ageing process in rural settings. Bringing together valuable
international perspectives, this book makes a timely contribution
to gerontology, rural studies and the social sciences, and will
appeal to scholars and researchers across USA and Canada, UK and
Ireland, Australia and New Zealand, Europe, China and countries in
Africa, South America and South-East Asia.
