evidence

pt Lloyd-Shlo,University o East Anglia

Over the next 40 years the numbero people aged 60 and over in theworld is set to grow by one and a

quarter billion. More than 80 per cent o these people willbe living in developing regions, such as Asia, Arica andLatin America. What are the implications o this or the

world and what will old age be like or these people?

This original book provides a sophisticated analysis olinks between development, population ageing andthe experiences o older people. Drawing on a broad

array o evidence, it challenges a number o widely heldmisconceptions and generalisations. The book highlightsthe diversity and complexity o international experiences

and argues that the eects o population ageing ondevelopment are strongly infuenced by policy choices. Itargues that pension programmes in developing countries

oten promote inequality and clientelism, that healthpolicies overlook basic provision and lielong promotion,and that care needs continue to be neglected. It includes

country case study chapters which analyse the experienceso India, South Arica and Argentina.

The book will be o interest to people working in a wide

range o academic disciplines, including economics,

gerontology, social policy and development studies. It willalso provide a key reerence point or policy makers and

practitioners concerned with developing countries.

Unqual agingThe untold story of exclusion in

old age

Edited by pul cnn, AgeConcern and Mlolm Dn,

The GuardianUnequal ageing is a must-read

or everyone concerned with

growing imbalances in care and

support o the older person... let

us hope policy makers and inormers read, absorb and

take remedial action.alx M, ch exutv, btsh

Gts Soty

For a shockingly high number o older people, growingolder is not the medias sot-ocus vision o un times and

ond grandchildren, but a journey o loss: loss o work andopportunity to contribute, health and well-being, amily

and riends. Over two million older people are stuck inpersistent poverty. The diseases and disabilities associatedwith growing older multiply with the dramatic ageing othe population, yet the response o communities and care

systems is oten inadequate and ageism still abounds. Atleast one million o our seniors eel society has let thembehind and that their lives have been reduced to survival.

Unequal ageing analyses the vital dimensions o money,

health, place, quality o lie and identity, and demonstratesthe gaps o treatment and outcomes between older andyounger people, and between dierent groups o older

people. This powerul book, written by leading experts inthe eld, provides strong evidence o the scale o current

disadvantage in the UK and suggests actions that couldbegin to change the picture o unequal ageing.

The book is aimed at all those with a serious interest in theunprecedented challenge o our ageing society. It will be o

importance to policy makers striving to develop workablesolutions, to proessionals responsible or implementingthose solutions, to opinion ormers wishing to examine the

way attitudes about ageing are shaped, and above all toolder people themselves.
