Tag hinzufügen | Zusammenfassung: | Old Age in Global Perspective examines old age around the world by drawing on data from two major sources: ethnographic (anthropological) field research and cross-national surveys. The authors use biologic, demographic, and sociocultural approaches to amplify our understanding of variations in individuals' experiences of aging and old age in the modern context of aging populations. Elders' living arrangements, intergenerational experiences, social relationships, and progression through the life-course are extensively discussed, as are the effects of "modernization" on late life. Conclusions are formulated as brief summary discussions by topic, and twenty-three specific hypotheses are suggested for future research. This volume will be a valuable reference for professionals and advanced students in anthropology, sociology, and gerontology. |
