Description

Reconstructing Old Age offers a comprehensive exploration of social gerontology and contemporary social theory by Chris Phillipson, examining how later life experiences are fundamentally changing in late modernity. The book critically analyses theoretical frameworks that explain shifts in pension systems, employment patterns, retirement practices, and intergenerational relationships, revealing how these transformations reshape what it means to grow old. Phillipson demonstrates that later life now presents a paradox: a period of greater choice and potential alongside new vulnerabilities and risks. Published by Sage Publishing, this authoritative text provides essential insights for understanding ageing in the 21st century, making it vital for students, researchers, and professionals in social sciences, gerontology, and related fields who seek to comprehend the complex social dynamics of an ageing society.

Key Features

Chris Phillipson's critical analysis of social theory applied to gerontology and ageing populations in contemporary society.

Explores how changes to pensions, employment, retirement systems and intergenerational relationships redefine the meaning of later life.

Examines the paradox of later life as both a period of potential choice and significant social risk in late modernity.

Published by Sage Publishing, an authoritative academic press specialising in social sciences research and theory.

Essential reading for students, academics and professionals studying gerontology, social policy and the sociology of ageing.
