Accelerated population ageing, long a significant issue for
developed countries, is now becoming important in the developing
world too. Population ageing is one of the great achievements of
the past century - although it brings its own social, economic,
political and cultural challenges. The quality of life of older
people is strongly conditioned by their capacity to manage
opportunities and risks. Social protection, both formal and
informal, can be critical. This book examines the links between
wellbeing and development, drawing on examples from low, middle and
high-income countries. It examines ageing in a number of very
different development contexts -- Argentina, Brazil, China, Ghana,
Japan, Mexico, Thailand, Ukraine, UK and USA. It highlights the
complexity of relationships between development and the way later
life is experienced, identifies key priorities for policy-makers,
and maps out an urgent research agenda.
