Elgar Research Agendas outline the future of research in a given area. Leading scholars are given the space to explore their subject in provocative ways, and map out the potential directions of travel. They are relevant but also visionary.Written by a global collective of scholars from a wide variety of backgrounds, including health studies, psychology and economics as well as social policy and gerontology, this timely Research Agenda highlights the challenges and opportunities of rising longevity and population ageing for social policy providing clear directions for future research.Divided into five comprehensive parts, this Research Agenda examines research priorities from policy perspectives, the role of social policy research in relation to intergovernmental organisations, and the framework for future-oriented social policies on ageing provided by a life-course approach. It demonstrates that social policy experts must evaluate interests and expectations both qualitatively and quantitatively, and asserts that future research on social policy and ageing will be inspired by a broad range of stakeholders, including non-governmental interest organisations and state actors.A Research Agenda for Ageing and Social Policy will be enlightening for students and researchers focusing on social policy, ageing, development, health policy and inequality. It will also be a fascinating read for practitioners seeking a wider understanding of social policy priorities and processes.

‘The changes in the age structure of the population have preoccupied science, politics and civil society for many years. Approaches to record the associated concomitant phenomena in a comprehensive and internationally comparable scientific framework and to prepare the results for ageing and social policy measures have so far remained largely inconsequential. However, in order to plan and implement an efficient and successful ageing and social policy, a sound empirical basis is required. Creating such a foundation is the aim of the researchers who have come together for this book. Their contributions take into account the diverse geographical, historical, cultural, structural and social conditions that are significant for a good life in old age. On behalf of AGE Platform Europe, with over 100 member organisations and a strong voice of older people in Europe, I expressly welcome this initiative and wish the book and its contents a wide distribution and application.’
