As the aging population of the United States continues to
increase, age-related policies have come under intense scrutiny and
have sparked heated debates. This revised and updated edition of
"The New Politics of Old Age Policy" explains the politics behind
the country's age-based programs, describes how those programs
work, and assesses how well--or poorly--they meet the growing and
changing needs of older Americans.
The chapters address theoretical approaches to age-based policy;
population dynamics and the impact of growing diversity within the
older population; and national, state, and local political issues
associated with major age-based programs. The contributors are
leading experts whose essays range across disciplines, including
political science, sociology, law, social work, social welfare, and
gerontology.
More than any other source, this book presents the most current
information on growing older in the United States, including
detailed analyses of Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, housing
initiatives, the Older Americans Act, the Age Discrimination in
Employment Act, and tax policy.
