Reviews
“The Economics of Ageing is an excellent series of books - well-written and comprehensively covering all aspect on the topic. It is the first book of its kind and considering its quality, depth and scope, I doubt something similar will be published in the foreseeable future.” (Alfonso Sousa-Poza, Professor of Economics, Institute for Health Care & Public Management, University of Hohenheim)
“As Chief Executive of the International Longevity Centre UK, the UK’s specialist think tank on the impact of longevity on society, I welcome the timely publication of this superb introduction to the economics of ageing. The population in most countries is undergoing an unprecedented demographic shift that will leave none of us untouched. And while longer lives are something to be celebrated, we need to make sure that we truly understand and adapt to the needs of an ageing society, so that we all can make the most of the benefits of increased longevity. This four-volume publication brilliantly sets out the key macro- and microeconomic implications of an ageing society, and acts as a conversation starter to this important topic. Now it’s time to put our thinking caps on to adapt our policy, products and services to the greatest challenge and opportunity of the 21st century.” (Baroness Sally Greengross OBE, House of Lords)
