Demographic ageing is a reality - within 25 years half the
population of Western Europe will be over 50, one quarter over 65,
and the Less Developed Countries will contain one billion elderly
people. Ageing Societies examines the myths, challenges and
opportunities behind these figures. Ageing Societies explores three
areas: A the growing necessity for extending economic activity into
later life and the implications of societal ageing for the
intergenerational contract and the provision of social security A
the changes in modern families and the implications the changes
have for the provision of support and care for the ageing
population A the biggest demographic challenge of all: ageing in
the Less Developed Countries where there is little or no
infrastructure to provide long-term care or social security.
Combining bio-demography, sociology, economics and development
studies, Ageing Societies highlights the opportunities of an ageing
population for a mature society. Age-integrated and flexible
workforces, increased labour mobility, intergenerational
integration, age equality and politically stable age-integrated
societies are the potential benefits of a demography which will be
with us for the majority of this century.
