This text examines the social issues raised by individual and societal aging. Discussions of United States social institutions such as health care, housing, and income security systems provide a context for examining the sociological construction of aging and how aging is experienced by individuals. The text features in-depth coverage of current issues as well as profiles of individuals who are experiencing these issues first hand. This issue-oriented approach helps students see the relevance of aging to their own lives today and in the future.
