Ageing without Ageism? cover

Ageing without Ageism? contributes to the essential and timely discussion of age, ageism, population ageing, and public policy. It demonstrates the breadth of the challenges posed by these issues by covering a wide range of policy areas: from health care to old-age support, from democratic participation to education, and from family to fiscal policy. With contributions from 21 authors the discussion bridges the gap between academia and public life by putting in dialogue fresh philosophical analysis and specific new policy proposals. It approaches familiar issues like age discrimination, justice between age groups, and democratic participation across the ages from novel perspectives.

Ageism is one of the most persistent, pervasive, and pernicious of all "isms." Older adults face discrimination in employment, healthcare, and everyday encounters. Yet policymakers and practitioners struggle with ethical dilemmas as they seek to provide supports and services to older adults without treating them in a demoralizing or paternalistic manner. This important edited volume thoughtfully wrestles with these challenges. Highly recommended. * Choice *
