Employing demographic, philosophical, legal, psychological, gerontological perspectives, it emphasises activities that can support older adults locally or nationwide and proposes the development of a social policy and social attitudes that can facilitate changes in the social perception of ageing, together with a redistribution of resources for older adults. As such, it will appeal to scholars across the social sciences with interests in ageing and the lifecourse, as well as those who wish to support older adults with concrete solutions and familiarize themselves with the ageing process from an individual and social perspective.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Maria Luszczyńska\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1032194839\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781032194837\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/30\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 360\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.55lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.88d","brand":"Maria Luszczy\u0026#324;ska","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44066894348543,"sku":"9781032194837","price":170.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_492399d0-acca-4cc6-bf54-08b5a1b6f172.jpg?v=1685409962","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/ageing-as-a-social-challenge-maria-luszczyska-9781032194837","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
