Description

Framing Age examines how ageing populations have become a central policy concern across industrialised nations over the past fifty years, shaping both scientific research and political decision-making. Published by Routledge as part of their Studies in the Sociology of Health and Illness series, this scholarly work investigates the complex relationships between policy formation and knowledge production in gerontology. The book questions dominant framings of old age by exploring how multiple disciplines-medicine, sociology, psychology, and gerontology itself-have constructed and contested understandings of ageing. By analysing the interplay between scientific inquiry and policy-making, the author reveals how older people have been identified as a specific population requiring targeted health and social interventions. Essential reading for scholars, researchers, and practitioners interested in the sociology of health, social gerontology, and the politics of ageing.

Key Features

Framing Age is part of the Routledge Studies in the Sociology of Health and Illness series, positioning it within established academic scholarship on health and society.

The book examines how gerontology has emerged as a distinct discipline across medicine, sociology, and psychology over recent decades.

This work questions traditional framings of old age by analysing relationships between policy-making institutions and the production of scientific knowledge about ageing.

The author explores how older people have been constructed as a vulnerable population through health and social policies in industrialised countries.

Published by Routledge, this scholarly text addresses the contested nature of knowledge production in ageing research and policy development.
