| Abstract
|
:
|
"In the United States, older populations exhibit the highest levels of economic inequality of all age groups. Across all advanced societies, the inequalities observed in older populations stem from structural and individual processes that differentiate the life courses of women and men and yield distinctive patterns of economic inequality in adulthood and old age." "Age and Inequality examines the structural and individual bases of inequality and aging in the United States, especially in recent decades." "Aging and retirement in the twenty-first century raise concerns regarding public welfare and market policies affecting labor exits and income support systems across countries over the next half century. Angela M. O'Rand and John C. Henretta consider the implications of the changing workplace and changing public policies for aging women and men."--Jacket.
