The volume aims to include around 25 chapters= of originalempirical research from any relevant discipline including inter= disciplinarywork and analyses of professional practice cases and examples. = Ethnographicallyrich chapters that speak to policy challenges are very welc= ome.=20

Amidmuch international debate about the economic and social implications of= increasing longevity and efforts to promote successful ageing this book wil= l beconcerned with the influence of cumulative advantage and disadvantage o= npeople=E2=80=99s later life transitions and outcomes, with a focus on issu= es ofemployment, retirement, wealth, morbidity and mortality. The book will= considerwho will be the winners and losers in the global longevity race an= d how publicpolicy will need to be reshaped in response. Chapters will focu= s on education,race and ethnicity, gender, occupational history and geograp= hy as factors thatmay determine how successful people are at ageing. We aim= to cover a broad rangeof contexts from around the world.=20

Inparticular, we are interested to hear from prospective authors of empiric= ally richstudies that address complexities of systemic inequalities for age= ingpopulations, including ageing populations within demographically young c= ountriesor communities. We envisage chapters approaching intersections of i= nequalities andageing from a range of perspectives and disciplines.
