Unequal ageing
The Policy Press has just published a new book: 'Unequal ageing', edited by Paul Cann and Malcolm Dean.
This much-needed book analyses money, health, place, quality of life and identity, and demonstrates the gaps of treatment and outcomes between older and younger people, and between different groups of older people. It provides strong evidence of the scale of current disadvantage in the UK and suggests actions that could begin to change the picture of unequal ageing.
For more information please see the policy press website where the book is currently available with a 25% discount.
