Placing economic considerations into a wider social sciences context, this is ideal reading not only for advanced undergraduate and masters students in economics, health economics and the economics of ageing, but also policy makers, students, professionals and practitioners in gerontology, sociology, health-related sciences and social care. This volume introduces the different conceptualisations of age and definitions of `old age', as well as the main theories of individual ageing as developed in the disciplines of biology, psychology and sociology. It covers the economic theories of fertility, mortality and migration and describes the four main frameworks that can be used to study economics and ageing, namely the life cycle, the overlapping generations, the perpetual youth and the dynastic models. José Luis Iparraguirre is Chief Economist at Age UK and Professor of Economics at the University of Morón, Buenos Aires, Argentina. .Medical economicsAgingEvolutionary economicsInstitutional economicsFinance, PublicPopulationEconomic aspectsLabor economicsHealth EconomicsAgeingInstitutional and Evolutionary EconomicsPublic EconomicsPopulation EconomicsLabor EconomicsMedical economics.Aging.Evolutionary economics.Institutional economics.Finance, Public.PopulationEconomic aspects.Labor economics.Health Economics.Ageing.Institutional and Evolutionary Economics.Public Economics.Population Economics.Labor Economics.305.26Iparraguirre José Luisauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut870339MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910303454703321Economics and Ageing1942961UNINA
