Review :
From the reviews: "Population aging has become a major demographic trend in the world today, with myriad consequences across societies. In this pioneering handbook, Peter Uhlenberg has assembled an outstanding panel to document and explain this change. An essential reference work." Glen H Elder, Jr, Research Professor Carolina Population Center University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill "Survival to well into old age once was the lot of only a small fraction of humankind. Ongoing progress in lowering mortality—one of the greatest achievements of our modern civilization—now makes it a global experience. In combination with low fertility, a long-term necessity imposed by approaching limits to growth, this means population aging: a larger and larger share of older persons within the total population. The promises and the problems inherent in this secular shift, a shift that will be the dominant demographic fact of the twenty-first century, are enormous For anyone who wants to understand the far-reaching demographic, economic, and social ramifications of population aging this Handbook is absolutely essential reading. It brings together contributions of a large international group of eminent experts exploring all aspects of population aging. The chapters add up to a comprehensive and coherent tableau of facts, analysis, and probing of likely future trends. The rich fare this volume offers has no match or even close competitor in the professional literature." Paul Demeny Distinguished Scholar, Population Council Editor, Population and Development Review "This new Handbook on Population Aging is not only long overdue, but also exemplary in regard to the range of countries it covers and in focusing on many questions about the often little understood consequences of societies with much larger proportions of elderly." Karl Ulrich Mayer Stanley B. Resor Professor of Sociology, Yale University "The globalcommunity of scholars and policy-makers has been waiting for this impressive volume, showing the aging populations around the globe through the lens of some of their best demographic observers. It demonstrates how the world is changing through population aging, and how demography is changing in response to it." Martin Kohli Professor, Department of Social and Political Sciences European University Institute “This is a very comprehensive collection, with 34 chapters bringing a wealth of material to bear on the topic. … the themes of international comparisons and of life course provide further unity to the text, as does the strong historical context. … This is a comprehensive text and an important guide to the literature, with good historical depth and cross-national comparisons.” (Roderic Beaujot, Canadian Studies in Population, Vol. 39 (1-2), Spring/Summer, 2012)
