Description

As ageing populations become a primary concern for industrialized nations, the way we understand old age is changing. This book from the Routledge Studies in the Sociology of Health and Illness series examines how ageing is viewed through the lenses of both politics and science. Older people are frequently targeted by various health and social policies and are often labeled as a specific, vulnerable group. This text looks at how ageing has evolved into a specialized field of study, known as gerontology, spanning disciplines such as medicine, sociology, and psychology. By focusing on the connection between policy making and the production of knowledge, this work questions how old age is framed in modern society. It provides a deep look into how scientific data and political decisions influence one another, making it a valuable resource for those studying the social and political dimensions of aging.
