pp. [2] 200.some penciling to the text.paperback edition.”The population aging trend, or “greying of the population” as it has been called, has at times been described as a “problem,” a “crisis,” or more kindly, a “challenge,” yet it is also true that the crisis rhetoric has become more moderate and is balanced by a new emerging view that emphasizes the advantages and opportunities of population aging along with the difficulties. Demography, economics, health and health care, government programs, family and community involvement, and the social constructs of aging are studied using the latest facts and statistics, building upon research to date. The third edition of Aging in Alberta challenges, scrutinizes, and lays bare the assumptions and implications of the rhetoric of population aging.”
