Over the next 40 years the number of people aged 60+ in the world, many of whom live in developing regions, will grow by 1¼ billion. What will old age be like for them?
This original book provides an analysis of links between development, population ageing and older people, challenging some widely held misconceptions. It highlights the complexity of international experiences and argues that the effects of population ageing on development are influenced by policy choices.
The book will be of interest to a range of academic disciplines, including economics, gerontology, social policy and development studies as well as policy-makers and practitioners concerned with developing countries.
Peter Lloyd-Sherlock is Professor of Social Policy and International Development in the School of International Development, University of East Anglia, UK. He has extensive experience of studying population ageing and the situation of older people in Asia, Africa and Latin America.
