Description

Demographic ageing is a global reality that is reshaping the structure of modern life. Within the next 25 years, half the population of Western Europe is expected to be over 50, while one quarter will be over 65. Additionally, Less Developed Countries are projected to contain one billion elderly people. Ageing Societies provides a deep look into these shifts, moving beyond simple statistics to examine the myths, challenges, and opportunities created by these changes. This publication explores the growing necessity of extending economic activity into later life. It looks at how societal ageing impacts the intergenerational contract and the ongoing provision of social security. The text also examines changes in modern families and how those shifts affect the way care and support are provided. For students, researchers, and professionals interested in demography and social science, this book offers a clear examination of the societal transformations driven by an ageing global population.
