Unequal ageing - The untold story of exclusion in old age (Paperback, New)

For a shockingly high number of elderly people, growing older is not the media's soft-focus vision of fun times and fond grandchildren, but a journey of loss: loss of work and the opportunity to contribute, loss of health and well-being, loss of family and friends. Over two million older people are stuck in persistent poverty. The diseases and disabilities associated with growing older multiply with the dramatic ageing of the population, yet the response of communities and care systems is often inadequate and ageism still abounds. Countless seniors feel that society has left them behind and that their lives have been reduced to survival. Unequal Ageing is for all those with a serious interest in the unprecedented challenge of our ageing society. This powerful book provides strong evidence of the scale of current disadvantage in the UK and suggests actions that could begin to change the picture of unequal ageing. Written by leading experts in the field, it analyzes the vital dimensions
