Produktbeschreibung

"Family and Community Life of Older People" reflects the interest in how older people are affected by social change. The book focuses on three areas: Bethnal Green in London; Wolverhampton in the Midlands; and Woodford in Essex. Using these examples, Phillipson explores changes to the family and community lives of older people. This book will be essential reading for students in social policy, urban sociology, gerontology, social work and community studies and will also be relevant to policy makers.
