Overview

This book provides an analysis of later life. By using a life course perspective, it explores the ways in which bases of structural advantage and disadvantage, such as housing, social class, ethnicity, health and disability, have cumulative impacts on the situation of older people. Contributors address key processes of change, and how these processes are gendered and socially structured. The book is aimed at undergraduate and postgraduate students taking courses in sociology, sociology of ageing, social policy, gerontology and psychology.
