‘Layering equity, diversity, inclusion and indigeneity across key debates within the age-friendly cities domain, this outstanding volume demonstrates – by uplifting the voices of older people themselves – how age friendly cannot exist without age equity.’ Elizabeth Russell, Trent University ‘Layering equity, diversity, inclusion and indigeneity across key debates within the age-friendly cities domain, this outstanding volume demonstrates – by uplifting the voices of older people themselves – how age friendly cannot exist without age equity.’ Elizabeth Russell, Trent University

‘Ageing populations are a defining societal feature and this thoroughly researched book is essential reading for all those concerned with understanding who needs care and - most importantly - who provides this care.’ Marian Baird, The University of Sydney ‘Layering equity, diversity, inclusion and indigeneity across key debates within the age-friendly cities domain, this outstanding volume demonstrates – by uplifting the voices of older people themselves – how age friendly cannot exist without age equity.’ Elizabeth Russell, Trent University ‘This important book shows that achieving age equity necessitates acknowledging the diversity within older populations and ensuring decent conditions for paid and unpaid carers.’ Teppo Kröger, University of Jyväskylä ‘This volume documents the absence of an equity lens across all domains of age studies. It challenges us to penetrate data and discourse to locate immiseration.’ Sheila Neysmith, University of Toronto
