Population Ageing from a Lifecourse Perspective: Critical and International Approaches: Ageing and the Lifecourse
Editat de Kathrin Komp, Stina Johanssonen Limba Engleză Hardback – 24 mar 2015
As populations around the globe age, it’s more important than ever that we understand how aging affects families, market structures, and social provisions. This volume, part of the Ageing and the Lifecourse series, argues that taking the life course perspective offers the best way to understand the causes and effects of population aging. The book combines insights from a number of different disciplines, as well as real-life experiences, to describe the theories and practices behind the life course approach.

Recenzii
“The book has a refreshing approach towards the global issue of population ageing, thus stimulating readers to view the phenomenon both from a macro and micro perspective. The authors do an excellent job of linking individual diverse pathways with national developments around the globe.”
“Population ageing is a key social issue, yet seldom studied as a lifecourse phenomenon. This comparative contribution fills the gap in the literature.”
