A Manifesto For Our Future

Description

Dr Anna Dixon turns the misleading and depressing narrative of the burden and massive extra cost of people living longer on its head and provides a refreshingly optimistic view of how everyone could enjoy a better later life.

The Age of Ageing Better? takes a radically different view of what our aging society means. Dr Anna Dixon turns the misleading and depressing narrative of burden and massive extra cost of people living longer on its head and provides a refreshingly optimistic view of how everyone could enjoy a better later life.

This book shines a spotlight on how as a society we're failing to respond to aging--and what needs to change to ensure later lives become better for everyone. Examining key areas of society that need to change; including health, financial security, where and how people live, and social connections, Anna Dixon presents a strongly optimistic picture of how thinking differently could change the way we value later life in every sense.

This is a very important book.

Sir Muir Gray
This thoughtful and eminently readable book sets out a compelling vision for the future. It shows how the seismic 'age shift' we are experiencing can be a force for good if society adapts.

Baroness Sally Greengross, Chief Executive, International Longevity Centre UK
With scarily prescient timing, Dr Anna Dixon has produced not just an incredible evidence-based survey of the reality of ageing in Britain today, but also a thought-provoking prescription of what a society that allowed us all to age well would look like.

Jill Rutter, Senior Fellow, Institute for Government
Dr Anna Dixon offers a must-read - powerfully argued clarion call for urgent action on all fronts including health, paid work, social care and what we value as citizens to build a society in which ageing in the 21st century is a bonus not a burden.

Yvonne Roberts, Fellow of The Young Foundation
Dr Anna Dixon has written a must-read for anyone interested in the future of ageing. Learn from one of the best informed about an issue, and opportunity, that is facing us all.
