A Method for Recruiting Participants from Isolated Islands of Small Island Developing States (Sids) for Survey Research
Representing isolated small island communities through social survey research continues to be challenging. We examine a locally developed method to reach and recruit older people (65+ years) for a survey on well-being in the small island developing state of Maldives. The use of messengers to recruit participants is examined in the context of these isolated islands. The approach allowed for the participation of the isolated island communities in t…
An evaluation of mixed methods (diaries and focus groups) when working with older people
This paper considers the advantages and limitations of using mixed methods, diaries and focus groups in research with older people, specifically research investigating the interaction experiences of older individuals as customers, members and workers with public-, private- and community-based organisations. Drawing on the literature on mixed method integration, five distinct advantages were identified: development, completeness, expansion, offset…
Ageing, Work Performance and Managing Ageing Academics
The ageing of university academic staff raises issues for workforce planning and for older academics' continuing professional development, particularly in the context of changes in the laws governing retirement age. Given there is limited research on the work experience of older academics, this article reviews the literature on 'successful ageing' and the performance of older workers in general. Findings suggest that stereotypes remain of age-rel…

These concerns are: the problem of definition, the core issue of family sociology, and the Separation from general theory and other literature. It is suggested that the central issue family policy must address is depend…
