AGER 6750 - Global Perspectives on the Future of Aging

3 hours

The growing proportion of older persons worldwide, in both high-income and low-income societies, is redefining what it means to be old, the relationship between young and old, and the place of the aged in society. Our expectations about what older people can and should expect from society and, in turn, what society may expect from them, are changing. These changes are evident in the institutions of work, family, education and politics. This course explores current trends in individual and population aging and their implications for future societies in which even larger numbers of individuals will live to an even more advanced age.

Prerequisite(s): Admission to the doctoral program in applied gerontology, or consent of instructor.
