Description

Explore the evolving landscape of aging with Reconstructing Old Age by Chris Phillipson. Published by Sage Publications, this authoritative text provides a deep look into social gerontology and social theory. As we enter a new century, the experiences of later life are shifting rapidly due to changes in modern society. This book offers a critical review of the various theoretical explanations used to understand these societal shifts. Phillipson examines how late modernity impacts essential areas such as pensions, employment, retirement, and intergenerational relations. These changes are fundamentally altering the traditional meaning of growing old. Readers will gain insight into how later life is being reconstructed. The text explores the dual nature of modern aging, where later life can be viewed as a period of potential choice, yet also carries new levels of risk. This is an essential resource for anyone studying the social sciences, politics, or the changing dynamics of aging populations.
