Aging populations are generating both challenges and opportunities for societies around the globe. Increases in longevity and improvements in health raise many questions. What steps can be taken to optimize physical and cognitive health and productivity across the life span? How will older people finance their retirement and health care? What will be the macroeconomic implications of an aging population? How will communities be shaped by the shift in age structure? What global interconnections will affect how each society handles the aging of its population? To address these questions, the National Academies organized a symposium, summarized in the present volume, to determine how best to contribute to an evidence-based dialogue on population aging that will shape policies and programs. Presentations in the fields of biology, public health, medicine, informatics, macroeconomics, finance, urban planning, and engineering approached the challenges of aging from many different angles. The presenters reviewed the current state of knowledge in their respective fields, identifying areas of consensus and controversy and delineating the priority questions for further research and policy development.

As our aging population grows ever larger, it is increasingly important to understand how adults age and what we can do to provide up-to-date care to ensure their well-being as an integral part of society. Leslie Morgan and Suzanne Kunkel understand that this phenomenon is about much more than just the physical or biological aspects of growing older and have put together a comprehensive text on the impact of society and sociology on the aging process. Use this text to explore the diversity of the aging population and dispel the major stereotypes surrounding the elderly. Learn about aging through all the layers of social context from family life to politics and economics.

The focus of this annotated bibliography is on identifying the scope of the research & informed opinion concerning the impact of ageing populations on society, with a view toward identifying suggestions or recommendations regarding measures that could minimize potential pressure points. Literature reviewed for this purpose ranges from a crisis perspective, which views the ageing of developed nations as requiring immediate attention, to the perspective that ageing is a manageable phenomenon which may require some action but will also benefit society in a variety of ways. In general, the literature covers eight themes: labour force, education & awareness, the role of the government versus the role of the individual, financial planning & security, integrated & supportive communities, healthy lifestyles & wellness promotion, caregiving & volunteers, and housing.

Due to population explosion and a global increase in average life expectancies, an unprecedentedly high percentage of the world’s population is aging. By the middle of this century there will be up to 2 billion individuals over the age of 65, a demographic shift never before experienced in our human history. In addition, declining birth rates in industrialized countries means a decrease in the number of adults under 64. In Aging Social Policies: An International Perspective the authors consider how policy – domestic and international – affects and will continue to affect the lives of our aging population.
