Ageing through Austerity: Critical Perspectives from Ireland de Kieran Walsh

Ageing through Austerity: Critical Perspectives from Ireland

Editat de Kieran Walsh, Gemma M. Carney, Áine Ní Léime
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 24 mar 2015
Demographic aging is a global challenge with significant social policy implications. This book explores these implications, with a particular focus on the pressures and prospects for aging societies in the context of austerity.

Ageing through Austerity presents a carefully crafted study of aging in Ireland, a nation that transitioned from Celtic Tiger to bail-out state as one of the countries hardest hit by the Eurozone financial crisis. Providing a close, critical analysis of aging and social policy that draws directly on the perspectives of older people, this book makes significant advances in framing alternatives to austerity-driven government policy and neoliberalism, giving a refreshing interdisciplinary account of contemporary aging.

Recenzii

“By illuminating individual, regional, and societal disparities, this book helps readers rethink the consequences of altered political economies and practices, such as recession, on aging and generations.”

“With impeccable timing, Walsh, Carney and Ni Léime capture the intersections of population aging and global economic recessions, using Ireland as the exemplar of the impact of austerity on older people.”
