Thanks to improved food, medicine, and living conditions, the average age of the population is increasing throughout the modern industrialized world. Yet, despite the recent upsurge of scholarly interest in the lives of older people and the blossoming of historical demography, little historical demographic attention has been paid to the lives of the elderly. A landmark volume, Aging in the Past marks the emergence of the historical demographic study of aging.Following a masterly explication of the new field by Peter Laslett, leading scholars in family history and historical demography offer new research results and fresh analyses that greatly increase our understanding of aging, historically and across cultures. Focusing primarily on postIndustrial Europe and the United States, they explore a range of issues under the broad topics of living arrangements, widowhood, and retirement and mortality. This important work provides a muchneeded historical perspective on and suggests possible alternative solutions to the problems of the aged.

While the content is fascinating, some sections felt a bit outdated. The demographic studies could use more recent data. Still, it's a solid introduction to the study of aging. Just be prepared to supplement with newer research!

I was surprised at how well this book balances academic rigor with readability. The chapters are structured nicely, making it easy to follow along. I've read a few demography texts, but this one stands out for its relevance to current issues. Worth a read!
