“How do social divisions and differences determine the experience of ageing? Higgs and Gilleard’s unique perspective and intellectual rigour challenge preconceptions of how the social location of later life is constituted.” Kevin McKee, Dalarna University
“Health and economic disparities among older adults are a critically important concern. This rich, multidisciplinary analysis provides an excellent overview of late-life inequalities and policy solutions for mitigating these inequities.” Deborah Carr, Boston University
