TY - GEN A2 - Grotowska, Stella A2 - Taranowicz, Iwona A2 - Libiszowska-Żółtkowska, Maria PB - Instytut Socjologii Uniwersytet Wrocławski PB - http://www.socjologia.uni.wroc.pl/ N2 - The topic of old age and ageing is currently being discussed by everyone from politicians, economists and journalists to ordinary people. It figures as a topic in political and media discourse, highlighting the multitude of problems that result from population ageing and that need to be addressed. These issues are being researched by specialists in a variety of disciplines, including demographics, medicine, social policy, economics, psychology and sociology. This tome is a collection of texts by authors representing admittedly diverse academic fields, but with a shared conviction that the phenomenon of population ageing merits in-depth research, as this megatrend is shaping the future of contemporary society – and hence affects us all. This book is an interdisciplinary attempt to grasp and address selected aspects of old age and ageing, from a predominantly cultural perspective.
