Synopsis

Social structure is a unique advancing critical discourse in gerontology and makes a ma- jor contribution to understanding key social and ethical dilemmas facing ageing societies. It confronts and integrates approaches that have been relatively isolated from each other, and interrelates two major streams of thought within critical gerontology: analyses of struc- tural issues in the context of political econo- my and humanistic perspectives on issues of existential meaning. In this book a wide range of contributors, focus on major issues in ageing such as autonomy, agency, frailty, lifestyle, social isolation, dementia and pro- fessional challenges in social work and par- ticipatory research.
