About this title

Synopsis

Just as society was radically changed in the 20th century by the race and gender revolutions, so too will the 21st century be changed by an "age revolution." For the first time in modern history, as the result of the massive demographic shift that is already "greying" the developed world, elders will occupy the world's centre stage instead of being shunted to the wings. Many fears have been raised by the prospect of North America's aging population: Will social insurance and the healthcare systems be able to handle all the aging baby boomers? Will the economy collapse when all these workers retire with no one to replace them? The Coming Age Revolution throws all the assumptions about the aging population out the window. Author Reg Stackhouse shows the aging of North America is in fact a positive movement that will have people in their 70s, 80s, 90s, and even 100s living healthy, independent lives and continuing to make valuable contributions to society. By getting rid of stereotypes and recognizing what older people have to offer, society and individuals can make the "golden years" exactly that.

About the Author
