As concerns about the future of elderly care mount, Ageing and the Crisis in Health and Social Care offers a timely and incisive critique of the emerging crisis in care systems.In her book, anthropologist Bethany Simmonds addresses how neoliberalism, austerity policies, and global economic trends have eroded health and social care for older populations, deepening precarity for both service users and workers.Simmonds' work provides a theoretical analysis based on secondary data.This book does not present original ethnographic work but critically reviews existing research, policies and global/national perspectives on aging.In particular, it connects everyday experiences of aging and care with broader shifts in academic research by showing how structural forces shape the daily realities of older people and carers across their course of life.
