About the Book
Sociology of Ageing: A Reader explores the evolution of the sociological study of aging, which has progressed over the last thirty years from a narrowly focused sub-field to a broad, distinct discipline covering a wide range of topics related to the economic, social, and cultural lives of older people. This volume compiles theoretical essays and case studies by eminent scholars in the field, making it an invaluable resource for not only sociology students and professionals but also those in social anthropology, psychology, geography, population studies, political studies, and cultural studies.

The book presents a comprehensive view of aging in society and will be essential for understanding the complexities of aging from a sociological perspective.
