    Ageing populations are a major consideration for socio-economic development in the early twenty first century. This demographic change is mainly seen as a threat rather than as an opportunity to improve the quality of human life, especially in Europe, where ageing has resulted in a reduction in economic competitiveness. Economic Foundations for Creative Ageing Policy mixes the silver economy, the creative economy, and the social economy to construct positive solutions for an ageing population. Klimczuk covers theoretical analyses and case study descriptions of good practices to suggest strategies that could be internationally popularized. Contents: Foreword by Harry R. Moody Foreword by Kathrin Komp Introduction 1. Old Age as a Stage in the Life Course and the Life Cycle 2. Forms of Older People's Capital 3. Creativity and Ageing: Concepts and Controversies 4. Mixed Economy and Multisectoral Approach to Population Ageing 5. Silver, Creative, and Social Economies as Positive Responses to Population Ageing 6. Benefits at the Interface Between Economic Systems Conclusion Afterword by Lukasz Tomczyk

    About the book


    Aging populations are a major consideration for socio-economic development in the early
    21st century. This demographic change is mainly seen as a threat rather than as an
    opportunity to improve the quality of human life. Aging population is taking place in every
    continent of the world with Europe in the least favourable situation due to its aging
    population and reduction in economic competitiveness.

    Economic Foundations for Creative Aging Policy offers public policy ideas to construct

    positive answers for ageing populations. This exciting new volume searches for economic
    solutions that can enable effective social policy concerning the elderly. Klimczuk covers
    theoretical analysis and case study descriptions of good practices, to suggest strategies that
    could be internationally popularised.
