At the turn of the millennium more people are living into their seventies, eighties, nineties and even beyond. Is the existence of so many old people in Britain something new? Are they creating an intolerable burden of costs of care and pensions on a shrinking younger generation? This book shows that old people have always been an important presence in English society. It describes the variety of ways in which they have lived their lives, and argues that as more people live longer, they are fit and active for longer. Older people can and do benefit society more than they burden it.
