Aging As a Social Process : Canadian Perspectives

Aging as a Social Process: Canadian Perspectives is a synthesis and interpretation of social science research and census data concerning individual and population aging. Throughout, the emphasis is on identifying, describing, and explaining patterns, processes, and current issues associated with individual population aging, rather than on describing programs or providing prescriptions to assist older persons. This approach enables students and practitioners to acquire basic knowledge aboutolder adults and to develop an understanding of aging processes that people may experience throughout the life course.
