Abstract

Older people are widely-varying in assets and vulnerability and are on aggregate enormous contributors to society, yet, through universal age-related benefits, policy differentiates between people according to age. Will Horwitz argues for replacing this focus on chronological age with an analysis of the major transitions in later life, which would do better in differentiating between the vulnerable and the resilient.
