Working from home among older adults in the UK
Prolonging work life has been widely discussed in countries facing population aging. We examine the association between working from home (WFH) and both the labor market exit intentions and expected retirement age among the older workforce in the UK, utilizing data from the harmonized British Household Panel Survey (BHPS) and the UK Household Longitudinal Survey (UKHLS), covering the period from September 1998 to May 2020. Findings indicate that …

The go-along method with older adults
This article examines the go-along method as a transformative, participatory approach for exploring how older adults experience aging through movement and interaction within their everyday environments. Drawing on a UK-based study, Enabling Person-Centered Integrated Care Networks (EPICS), it demonstrates how walking alongside participants allows researchers to access embodied, sensory, and relational dimensions of daily life that conventional in…

Translanguaging and teacher authority
The purpose of the paper is to understand the connection between teacher authority and children’s language use. The data presented here was pulled from two large data sources: a set of case-studies in Grades 4 to 6 classrooms with multilingual children who were new to Canada and learning to read and write for the first time and qualitative research in a teacher education program preparing teacher candidates to educate multilingual students. Findi…
Causal Effects of Alcohol Consumption on Condom Negotiation Skills of Women with Varying Sexual Assault Histories
Computational Architecture of Speech Comprehension in the Human Brain
Understanding the computational algorithm that gives rise to human language is a shared endeavor among neuroscience, linguistics, and machine learning. We propose a conceptual framework for making measurable progress toward this goal by studying the subcomponents of the processing system: its underlying representations, operations, and information flow. We review evidence from neurophysiology, neuropsychology, linguistic theory, and computational…
A Voice for all Ages
Functional Transitions Among Older Adults in Rural China
Nowadays, daughters' families can provide high-quality informal care, often surpassing that offered by sons' families. This daughter advantage becomes even more significant among older adults who have a higher need for family care, such as those with severe disabilities and limited financial resources

It will provide practical insights into the challenge of evaluating new models of care across the dimensions of the Quadruple Aim. The session will interest policy makers, researchers, advocates, patients, carers and professionals who plan, commission, fund, provide or evaluate anticipatory care or intermediate care for people with multimorbidi…
Reimagining long term care in Europe
Introduction: This 90 minute workshop will be a collaboration between IFICs Ageing and Frailty SIG, Age Platform Europe and a group of experts who supported the government of Bizkaia in developing an empowerment model for long-term care. The session will interest policy makers, researchers, advocates, patients, carers and professionals who plan, commission, fund, provide or regulate long-term care. The European Care Strategy sets out an EU vision…
Commercial fisher perceptions illuminate a need for social justice considerations in navigating climate change impacts on fisheries systems
Climate change will amplify stress on marine systems already challenged by conflicts and inequities relating to fisheries access, management decisions, and ocean uses across sectors. Understanding how those most connected to fisheries perceive the risks associated with climate change is critical to developing effective responses and establishing management priorities. Adaptation planning efforts may be hindered by perceptions of unequal or unfair…
Son or Daughter Care in Relation to Self-Reported Health Outcomes for Older Adults in China
OBJECTIVES: Parental care in China is traditionally provided by sons. In recent decades-partly due to the One-Child Policy but also economic development and urbanization-significant changes have occurred with more and more parents receiving care from daughters. We investigate the disparities in outcomes of eldercare provided by son(s) and daughter(s). METHODS: Our study compares the self-reported health (SRH) status of parents who receive elderca…
Age Discrimination and older workers
Objective This paper explores the motivations of UK men moving to self-employment after age 50 and considers the role of ageism and age discrimination in this move. Methods Qualitative data from older self-employed adults in the IT industry in the UK’s ‘M4 corridor’ area was analysed. It compares those moving in 2002/3 with 2015/6, ten years after the UK introduced EU Age Discrimination legislation in 2006. Results Counter-intuitively, ageism and…
Forty Years of Global Action on Ageing
The impact of son or daughter care on Chinese older adults' mental health
Our study explores the evidence on mental health inequalities among parents with different sources of care, highlighting that lack of son care creates an apparent mental health disadvantage. Lowering older adults' dependency on their children may alleviate this inequality by improving their financial independence. We also suggest the development of a long-term care system and greater facilitation of older adults to take-up supplementary services …

Rethinking the geography of ageing
In 1990, in the last review of geographical questions in gerontology, Wames (1990a: 48) concluded that ’Whatever the intrinsic merits of geographical studies of ageing and the circumstances of elderly people, they have had only a moderate impact on human geography and academic gerontology’. Four years on, while social gerontology in both the

The Rural-Urban Interface in England
The post war years have seen a steady flow of inmigration into the rural hinterlands of conurbations, emanating both from the surrounding rural areas and from the urban complexes themselves. By 1981 over one-fifth of Britain's population was resident in a rural district, the majority falling within zones close to urban centres. This study of southern Staffordshire, part of the rural hinterland of the West Midlands Conurbation, and southern Hampsh…

Family Care, Independent Living and Ethnicity
The UK's national population structure, in line with most Western societies, is ageing rapidly. The combination of falling fertility and increasing longevity is having an impact on family structures and resultant relationships, with the emergence of long vertical multi-generational families replacing the former laterally extended family forms. This is occurring at a time when UK government policy is placing increasing reliance on families to prov…

‘Ageing of the population is ... one of the most important socioeconomic challenges ... for the 21st Century’ Andrej Wojrczak, Director, WHO Centre Health Development, Japan. This statement (WHO 1998: 5), reflects the growing awareness among politicians, policy makers and the general public of issues which have been recognised by gerontologists for the past 30 years or so. In both developed and less developed countries, demographic transition and…

Investigating lenition patterns in south-central Peninsular Spanish /spstsk/ clusters
In this study we report on an instrumental analysis of /spstsk/ clusters in south-central Peninsular Spanish, documenting a three-way system of /s/ realization: speakers tend to produce alveolar fricatives in /st/ clusters, velar fricatives in /sk/ clusters, and glottal fricatives or deletions in /sp/ clusters. An analysis based on the discrete classification of /s/ variants shows that a combination of linguistic factors (following consonant and …

Changing Families as European Societies Age
The trends towards falling fertility and mortality and increasing longevity, which have led to the demographic ageing of all Western industrialized societies, have not occurred in isolation. More specifically, we are also seeing a combination of forces which are resulting in the ageing of some life-transitions . While public and legal institutions may be lowering the age threshold into full legal adulthood, individuals themselves are choosing to …
The Kinship Network of the Rural Aged
Analysis of the kin support networks of rural elderly, resident in Staffordshire and Hampshire, indicated that the most important factor affecting both the patterns and relationships of the kin network is the residential mobility of the nuclear family and its members. The study revealed the importance of recognising three broad groupings of elderly: the indigenous aged, who typically possess an extended local kin network; the retired inmigrants w…

Transnational mobility and cross-border family life cycles
During the late nineteenth century, Italian immigrant settlement in Wales took the form of chain and clustered migration, based on origin-centred networks of extended family members. The original migrants’ reliance on transnational family support networks endured and evolved through descendant generations. Family formation and the progression of lifecycle care exchanges served as key drivers of transnationalism between Wales and Italy. Many famil…
The Impact of Life Course Employment and Domestic Duties on the Well-Being of Retired Women and the Social Protection Systems That Frame This
Objectives: The article addresses whether specific combinations of employment and domestic duties over the life course are associated with variations in women's health at the time of retirement. It also explores the differences of this relationship in four European welfare states. Method: Women from three waves of SHARE (Survey of Health, Aging and Retirement in Europe) are grouped using sequence analysis. Using logistic regression models, group …
Grandmothers as Replacement Parents and Partners
The increasingly important role that grandparents and, in particular, grandmothers, are playing in the lives of their children and grandchildren is now widely recognized.What is less clear is the type of role these family members play within the extended family.Drawing on an in depth study of UK lone parent families, this paper reveals that grandmothers frequently become replacement partners as well as parents.While grandparents as replacement or…

Demographic Transition
The capacity of social security and health care institutions to adapt to an ageing world
Population ageing has been occurring in many countries within Europe, North America and elsewhere for a number of decades. However, recently the pace, size and global reach of such ageing has begun to be recognised, and the wider implications assessed. Population ageing poses a key policy challenge for social security and health care systems across the globe. Different governments will come to these considerations carrying with them contrasting d…
Introducing the Journal of Population Ageing
The second half of the 20th century saw the more developed countries of the world experience population ageing to a degree hitherto unseen in demographic history. The first half of the 21 st Century is predicted to see the same transition within the less developed and transitional countries. Globally, by 2050 there will be some 2 billion adults aged over 60, and the total number of older people will outnumber the young. This is historically unpre…
An Upper Limit to Human Longevity
Caring for China's Ageing Population
China is a rapidly ageing nation. With nearly 10 % of its population over sixty, forecasts predict that this proportion will double by 2025. Such ageing is particularly acute in some of the large cities, where the impact of population policies has combined with lengthening life expectancies, to increase rapidly the percentages of elderly residents. Following a brief review of health and welfare policies directed towards elderly people, the paper …

British Rural Settlements in the Hinterland of Conurbations
Various techniques of cluster analysis are applied to 125 civil parishes in southern Hampshire and 55 civil parishes in southern Staffordshire. Despite the differing infrastructure, the analysis identifies within both a similar spectrum of settlements defined by size, tenancy,and age structure: small Established villages with a high proportion of tied and rented property, a high percentage of village workers and typically an old age profile; larg…

Demographic Transition
Environment, migration and the European demographic deficit
Many countries in the more developed world, and some in the less developed, are facing new economic and social pressures associated with the ageing of their populations. Europe, in particular, is forecast to have a demographic deficit, which may be alleviated by in-migration to the region. However, several commentators have proposed that Europe will not be able to successfully compete with other regions, in particular Asia, in the coming years fo…
