With the ageing of the population in Western industrialised societies, there is a growing need for a comprehensive look at the past, present, and future of adult lives. This diverse collection of articles takes a holistic approach to understanding ageing, drawing on biography and autobiography to contextualize the process. These articles contribute to a shared life course perspective to understand how those living and working together in an ageing society relate to each other. The book covers a number of key issues including: quality of life; social relationships; the environment; human rights; ethical considerations; social work issues; international issues; and the complexity of real lives. This book will be of interest to those who wish to contextualise ageing, understanding how lives can be transformed through policy and practice, and consider the lived experience.
