Conflict over Intergenerational Equity
In the mid-1980s the issue of intergenerational equity arose on the agenda of policymakers and scholars in the United States but not in Canada. We describe the emergence of the issue in the United States, document the differential importance of the issue in the two countries, and seek an explanation for the difference.
The Older Worker
The roles that older workers play in labour markets has received a great deal of policy and academic scrutiny in response to economic crises and demographic change. As a starting point, this focus has paradoxically resulted in insufficient attention to older workers themselves. The article is thus concerned with refocusing the agenda for research onto the older worker. Building on an extensive literature review, four gaps in knowledge are identif…
Gendered Life Courses
As the subtitle of this outstanding edited volume suggests, there exists a “European” version of the life course perspective, widespread in Europe but rooted in research programs led by Walter Heinz in Bremen, Germany, still active there, and with an additional institutional base through the Pavie Centre at the University of Lausanne and its LIVES research program at the University of Lausanne in association with the University of Geneva. Of the …

Gerontology Key Thinkers
Donald L. Spence stands as a major influence in the sociology of aging and in the area of gerontology education. His 1965 doctoral dissertation at the University of Oregon, under Robert Dubin, was on retirement, and aging remained his lifelong passion

Sociodemographic and Health Characteristics of Anglophone Canadian and U.S. Snowbirds
Data from a survey of anglophone Canadian snowbirds wintering in Florida and one of U.S. snowbirds in the Texas Lower Rio Grande Valley are used to compare the two groups in terms of sociodemographics, chronic health conditions, and use of health services. The Canadians were younger and reported fewer chronic problems than did the U.S. snowbirds; Canadians aged 65 and over had a lower reported prevalence for four of five chronic conditions than d…
Social Integration and Caregiving among Seniors in Bermuda
This paper examines social interaction among seniors in Bermuda, the relationship of various interaction variables with psychological or emotional well-being, and caregiving. The data come from the first ever social science survey conducted among seniors in this country. The findings are compared with selected industrialised countries. Bermudian seniors have strong social ties, somewhat stronger than have been reported in other developed nations.…

Health Care Utilization of Canadian Snowbirds
Older English-speaking Canadian seasonal migrants to Florida (N = 2046) were surveyed during the winter of 1986. They are users of two health care systems and are generally in good health. When they do need to use health care resources, however, they show a distinct preference for the Canadian system. There is a sensitivity to health concerns, especially among the older of the migrants. This sensitivity generates considerable precautionary behavi…

Socialization for Impending Death in a Retirement Village
Sociologists and gerontologists have frequently noted that the necesity for learning new social roles continues throughout the life cycle. Thus, Riley et al. (1969) argue that, in addition to myriad small adjustements, "major adjustments are also required as the occupational role gives way to one of leisure-in-retirement; as the combined roles of spouse-and-parent shift, after the children leave home, to the role of spouse without parental respon…

The Treatment of Death in Children's Books
Notes on a New Necrology
How does one review a book that both succeeds and fails spectacularly, that breaks new ground and then plants what is probably unfertile seed, that rather pretentiously stakes a claim to a “new area” of inquiry while grossly neglecting related extant work? The Twentieth Century Book of the Dead is a difficult book to read that has frustrated, excited, and stimulated me for enough weeks now that, though I still don't know how to review it, I am mo…
The Last Strand
Disengagement theorists argue that a benefit of disengagement is that it allows the individual to die without anxiety over unfulfilled plans and role-obligations. This paper examines data concerning readiness to die of persons highly disengaged but for their embeddedness in a kinship role. Readiness, and even desire to die co-exist for such aged people with the felt obligation to live in order to fulfill kinship role requirements. At the same tim…
Age and Awareness of Finitude in Developmental Gerontology
In developmental theory, awareness of finitude is held to initiate processes of disengagement, self-focusing, and life-review. Age has been assumed to be inversely related to awareness of finitude, and employed in testing these conceptions. Rather then being a simple inverse function of age, awareness of finitude is an estimate based on social-comparison processes. These data demonstrate the weaknesses inherent in any attempt to substitute age as…

Participant Observation in a Multiple·methods Study of a Retirement Community
In social science research, choice of methodology is con strained by the real or perceived biases of funding agencies' conception of what will persuade audiences who may or may not use the results of the study for good or evil, and the convic tions of investigators as to what constitutes valid data. For most audiences in sociology and social gerontology, and I suspect for most funding agencies, precisely defined and measured variables and numeric…
