Book Synopsis

This book looks at the historical background to the law''s approach to ageing, focusing on questions such as:

  • Has the law promoted ageism? 
  • How well has the law protected older people against discrimination, abuse and social exclusion?
  • How effective will new prohibitions on age discrimination be when they come into force?

Themes include the ways in which the law has a distinct impact on the lives of older people, human rights, housing, finance, health and social care, discrimination, crime, abuse and the state''s reaction, and poverty and social exclusion.
