Bringing together leading proponents of the critical gerontology perspective from Britain and North America, this book reviews and updates the understanding of how the gerontology field has developed over the last 25 years and explores current and future concerns surrounding population ageing in the 21st century. It also makes a significant contribution to methodology in ageing and lifecourse research. Critical Perspectives on Ageing Societies deals with contemporary topics of interest, such as age discrimination, human rights, intergenerational justice, diversity in later life, and researching with older people.
