Older and Active: How Americans over 55 Are Contributing to Society
This comprehensive book, which includes discussions by experts in economics, sociology, political science, social welfare, and policy studies, focuses on the contributions that many older people make to society and thus corrects the stereotypes of seniors as either affluent retirees or frail dependents. It also describes the policy changes that are necessary to harness this productive capacity-for the good of the country and of the individuals involved.
