Download or read book Ageing and Globalisation written by Martin Hyde and published by Policy Press. This book was released on 2016-07-06 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Two of the most unprecedented transformations in the history of human social and economic life are currently underway. One, globalization, is the subject of extensive media coverage and scholarly analysis. Relatively ignored, however, is the other one: the overall aging of the world's population. This book offers the first in-depth look at the two forces in tandem, showing the many ways in which they interact and affect each other--and helping us for the first time to grasp the implications of both. This comprehensive introduction to globalization for gerontologists is part of the Ageing in a Global Context series, published in association with the British Society of Gerontology.
