Synopsis

As the 21st century approaches, the world is ageing rapidly. By 2006 more than a quarter of the British workforce will be over 50. 1999 has therefore been designated International Year of the Older Person. This book examines the implications of ageing, drawing on the latest statistics and projections. The issues of age discrimination in the workplace, retirement and care are also looked at in detail. The information comes from a wide variety of sources and includes government reports and statistics, newspaper reports, features, magazine articles and surveys, literature from lobby groups and charitable organizations.
