This book would be a helpful resource for gerontological social work students and gerontologists interested in learning about insecurity and risk in later life. In addition to the theoretical frameworks, the book raises interesting questions to rethink the social aspects of aging. Journal of Gerontological Social Work

This is a fascinating and thought-provoking book that provides an overview of what precarity is, its role in understanding ageing, and how precarity can be seen as a lens to think about the role of the state, political actions and social and medical responses. Josie Tetley, Manchester Metropolitan University
