Description
The number of people aged 60 and over has doubled since 1980. There are now more people in the UK aged 60 and above than there are under 18, and by the year 2050 the number of 80 year-olds in the UK will have quadrupled. With this in mind, issues such as age discrimination, age-related health concerns and the cost of ageing are essential topics for discussion. Should we embrace our ageing population? What needs to be done to improve quality of life for older people in the UK?This book will guide you through the spectrum of issues associated with ageing, exploring the challenges our ageing population faces now and in the future.
