Like all other advanced Western societies, Germany is coming to
terms with the phenomenon of an ageing population. The demographic
challenge posed by population ageing is generally seen in terms of
potential crisis in the funding of health and social programmes.
Some social scientists have even suggested that the early decades
of the next century will be marked by conflict between the
generations, with young and old competing for increasingly scarce
resources. This is the first book written in English to address
comprehensively ageing policies in Germany and the contribution of
older people to German society.
The book examines the development of social policies affecting
older people since the origins of the German welfare state under
Bismarck and looks at how policy makers have sought to cope with
the growing numbers of elderly people over the years.
The social, economic and political role of older people in
contemporary Germany and their contribution to society are also
explored, from their development into a more politically active
sector of society to their changing relationship with the labour
market and their social integration in terms of their relationships
with families, neighbourhoods and local communities.
