Population ageing - a growth in the proportion of a population that
is in older age - is now occurring in every region and nearly every
country of the world. Indeed, the growth of older populations is
among the important global phenomena of the twenty-first century.
It poses both opportunities and challenges for societies and policy
makers, but these are far from uniform worldwide. Dynamic factors
are at work impacting on how ageing will influence people, places
and policies and there are large variations in the rate and timing
of population ageing across countries, owing to differing social,
health and economic circumstances and a variety of policy options
from which to choose. Given this variation in the context of global
ageing as a backdrop, this edited book focuses on three overarching
themes that are among the most critical to understand if societies
are to age successfully in the twenty-first century and beyond:
Healthy ageing and health care; the ageing workforce, retirement
and the provision of pensions; shifting intergenerational
relations. These three themes are cross-cut by other dimensions
that are intertwined with the dynamic processes of ageing, such as
immigration/emigration, contrasting policy regimes and global and
national economic forces. This ground-breaking book will be of
interest to all scholars, students and policy-makers working within
this area of study.
