In light of the recent financial crisis and changing economic
landscape, McNamara and Williamson present and analyze the
possibility of working longer. Including a range of potential
policies (e.g., further increasing the age of eligibility for full
Social Security benefits, allocating more government resources to
retraining and job search assistance for older workers), this is
one of the major approaches currently being discussed by policy
analysts inside and outside of the government. Emphasizing the role
of inequalities and diversity among older adults, this book
provides a framework for thinking about the advantages and
disadvantages of working past the current retirement age. This book
is for Sociology of Aging, Social Inequalities, and Social Problems
courses.

Ageism: Past, Present, and Future presents perspectives for
understanding ageism and puts ageism in the context of specific
social institutions. McNamara and Williamson uniquely provide a
number of complementary ways to understand ageism, including social
and psychological theories of ageism, economic development, ageism
as frame or lens, and ageism at the intersection of various social
categories such as gender and race. They then put ageism in the
context of mass media, h ealth care, employment, and public policy.
This short text is an ideal addition to courses on sociology of
aging, social policy, and social problems.
