- Summary:
-
"Australia, like other industrialised countries, confronts the prospect of a steadily ageing population. This up-to-date book reflects the breadth of research into gerontology and analyses the major themes in the area of ageing and social policy both in an Australian context and from an international comparative perspective." "Topics covered include employment, education, housing and incomes, ethnicity, legal matters, gender, and Aboriginal Australians." "This book provides essential reading for students and policymakers in sociology, social and public policy, gerontology and public health."--BOOK JACKET.
