Summary
Tom Scharf and Norah Keating introduce us to the debates surrounding exclusion and inclusion in later life within a comprehensive global context. The book takes a multidimensional lifecourse perspective, addressing the drivers as well as policy and practice responses. The authors of each chapter offer us a better understanding of the concepts of inclusion and exclusion through issues such as poverty and economic recession, migration, the family, the built environment and human rights and place exclusion in a truly global context with reference to developing countries, the Asia-Pacific rim, as well as Europe. Consequently, the book advances our theoretical understanding, bringing fresh and challenging perspectives on the family and wider community which interact to foster exclusion and provides a way forward for policy discourse on how to develop inclusive communities.
This book is an original contribution to the theoretical debate around exclusion/ inclusion and will be a good resource for undergraduates, postgraduates and, in particular, policy makers working with older people.
