Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. 388 pages. Population ageing, both globally and in New Zealan d, is often seen in negative terms, alongside economic and politi cal instability, disease and environmental threats. But it can al so be viewed positively - as an opportunity, an achievement of hu man civilisation and thus something to celebrate. Either way, the re can be little doubt that population ageing will have important economic and social implications during the coming decades; henc e, the subject deserves careful scrutiny. The contributors to the 14 chapters in this volume explore New Zealands changing demogra phy and examine the many and varied policy implications of popula tion aging, including those impinging on fiscal management, incom e support, the labour market, health care, housing and social ser vices. The crucial message is that while population ageing undoub tedly poses serious challenges - for individuals, families, commu nities and the state - it also generates many opportunities and p ossibilities. It will be critically important to New Zealands lon g-term economic and social success for policy makers to recognise and grasp these opportunities.
