It offers valuable insights into various aspects of growing old, covering a spectrum of issues influenced by socioeconomic inequalities and diversities that shape the lives of older adults. Despite existing research on aging, there's often a tendency to overlook the diverse experiences within the older population, a gap this book aims to bridge. The chapters of the book, are written by practitioners and academicians, sharing their insights on the issue. The book adopts a multidisciplinary approach, drawing on contributions from a diverse array of experts to comprehensively address the myriad issues affecting late adulthood. From mental health and nutrition to gender dynamics, income security, elder abuse, and intergenerational concerns, each topic is explored. A central theme of the book is the importance of recognizing and addressing the unique challenges faced by different groups within the elderly population. . By synthesizing insights from different fields, the book offers a comprehensive examination of the challenges encountered by older adults across multiple dimensions of their lives. This interdisciplinary perspective enriches the discourse on ageing and provides practical insights for researchers, practitioners, policymakers, and anyone interested in advocating for the well-being of ageing populations.
