Sinossi
How baby boomers are changing the way we age.
The Baby Boomer generation is heading into old age in a time of overt ageism and shamefully deficient eldercare. The front wave, now heading into their seventies, are on the brink of life changes that will be challenging not only for their friends and family but for society and the healthcare system as well. Journalist and sociologist Gillian Ranson, a front-wave boomer herself, investigates what boomers are doing to prepare for old age. Whether they’re an “elder orphan” living in subsidized housing, a busy grandparent doing daycare pick-ups, a small business owner phasing into retirement, or a wife learning to cope with her partner’s dementia, they all share one thing. They need intimate, caring social ties to other people. Just as the baby boomer generation transformed life for teenagers and youth in the 1960s, they now have a chance to forge a better way to grow old.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Boomers are heading into (very) old age following a pandemic, a time of overt ageism and shamefully deficient eldercare. The front wave, now in their seventies, are on the brink of life changes that will be challenging for everyone - family, friends, and for the health care system too.Recognizing the dire need to tackle these changes, journalist and sociologist Gillian Ranson, a front-wave boomer herself, investigates what they are doing to prepare for old age. Whether an "elder orphan" living in subsidized housing, a busy grandparent doing daycare pickups, a small business owner phasing into retirement, or a wife learning to cope with a husband's dementia, they all share one thing - they need intimate, caring social ties to other people. Just as the baby boomer generation transformed life for teenagers and youth in the 1960s, they now have a chance to create a better way to grow old. Their stories hold lessons for us all.
