A grey tsunami is sweeping the land, wreaking social and financial
havoc in its wake. Sound familiar? This myth about aging, along
with twenty-eight others, is the focus of Getting Wise about
Getting Old, which paints a far more accurate and nuanced portrait
of old age. In it, experts debunk myths and persistent stereotypes
about aging on a broad array of social issues – from retirement
(seniors are low-performance workers) to housing (most older adults
live in long-term care accommodation), and violence (senior women
are not victims of sexual assault) to political participation
(seniors are conservative and resistant to change) –
deconstructing and countering them with the latest findings. The
work of two leading research groups in Quebec, the short and
accessible chapters of this vitally important book contribute to a
better understanding of the social challenges, as well as the
advantages, of an aging society.
