Overview
Population aging is a worldwide phenomenon. Over the next several decades, the proportion of older adults (age 65 and over) in all major industrial countries will increase rapidly as the share of the total adult population declines. This is one of the first research books to look at the older consumer and examine the economic and psychological research behind how aging consumers behave, make decisions and choose in the marketplace. A top list of international scholars present chapters in this book, which will be of interest to researchers and students in marketing, consumer behavior, advertising, psychology, gerontology, social work , sociology, and economics.

Reviews
"""This book brings together in one volume wide ranging research into the changing consumption patterns of the aging population and the theoretical and practical implications of these changes. It is a scholarly approach to an under researched issue; it is likely to be taken by just about any 'self resepecting' academic library."" - Susan Auty, Lancaster University, UK ""Despite the greying of the population (to which I can personally attest), too little has been done to examine the important intersection between research on aging and consumer research. Such work is critical due to the increased complexity of the world facing older consumers, including health, housing, retirement, and other important decisions. The chapters in this volume provide much needed insights into how age may moderate the typical findings of consumer research, which increases not only our understanding of this important segment but also the prospects for developing interventions that will enhance the lives of elderly consumers."" - Jim Bettman, Duke University, USA ""First-rate, surprisingly frank, and genuinely entertaining - on a topic that is important now and will only increase in importance in the next decade. It's been a long time since there has been so enjoyable a book, so deeply entrenched in scientific findings, and it will be a long time until another like it comes along. The book is marvelous!"" - Jennifer L. Aaker, Stanford University, USA"
