This book is a product of a conference on the historical demography of aging held at Bowdoin College Breckenridge Public Affairs Center in York Maine in the spring of 1990. Our interest was in the interaction between demographic events and processes on the one hand and both societal age norms and individual-level behavior involving older people on the other. While the emphasis was on demographic forces these were examined in interaction with other relevant influences: economic political social and cultural. The focus was on the West both Europe and North America. The 13 papers are divided into five substantive parts which apart from the introduction and conclusion concern living arrangements widowhood and retirement and mortality. (EXCERPT)
