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

change the picture of unequal ageing. Written by leading experts in
the field, it analyzes the vital dimensions
