Beskrivning
How does rapid urbanisation reshape the experience of ageing, and who is left behind? This book provides one of the first systematic sociological analyses of stratified ageing and later-life inequality in contemporary China since the 1940s. Adopting an intersectional life-course perspective and combining longitudinal surveys with ethnographic fieldwork, it explores how demographic transition, urbanisation and digital transformation reshape wellbeing, intergenerational relations and later-life experiences. The book shows how institutional inequalities accumulate across the life course, producing divergent ageing trajectories and enduring inequalities. With clear policy relevance, it offers insights into one of the most significant demographic shifts of our time.

Recensioner i media

'A landmark study of the lives of older people in China, drawing on a wealth of ethnographic and survey research. The book offers rich insights into the way in which population ageing, migration and urbanization are transforming Chinese society. A unique feature of the study is its demonstration of both the opportunities and inequalities accompanying migration – the latter often become most visible as people enter later life. The book represents a major piece of social research and will be essential reading for a wide audience across the social sciences and related disciplines.' Chris Phillipson, University of Manchester
