As the "Baby-Boomer" generation reaches retirement age, policy-makers have begun to fear the economic and demographic challenges ahead. Aging and Demographic Change in Canadian Context responds to this alarmist view. The contributors present several alternative perspectives and question whether an aging society is necessarily inferior or problematic compared with the recent past, cautioning that exaggerated concerns about population aging can be harmful to rational policy making. The contributors argue that it is important to develop forward-looking programs that may influence life course trajectories in favourable directions, and that these new policies should be developed with respect to the life course considered as a whole. "Old age" is a slippery concept, and the effective boundaries between it and "middle age" are not always clear. The essays in Aging and Demographic Change in Canadian Context address these challenges and seek to broaden public discussion on aging and Canadian public policy 410 0$aPolicy research (Toronto, Ont.) 606 $aAging$xSocial aspects$zCanada 606 $aAge distribution (Demography)$zCanada 606 $aVieillissement$xAspect social$zCanada 606 $aRe?partition par a?ge (De?mographie)$zCanada 607 $aCanada$xPopulation policy 607 $aCanada$xSocial conditions$y1991- 607 $aCanada$xPopulation 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aAging$xSocial aspects 615 0$aAge distribution (Demography) 615 0$aVieillissement$xAspect social 615 0$aRe?partition par a?ge (De?mographie) 676 $a305.26/0971 702 $aCheal$b David J. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910780522103321 996 $aAging and demographic change in Canadian context$93764054 997 $aUNINA
