Dying in Old Age: U.S. Practice and Policy delves into the sociological aspects of the end of life, shedding light on how macrosocial systems and social inequalities intersect to shape individual experiences of death in the United States. By examining data from the National Health and Aging Trends Study and the Pew Research Center Survey of Aging and Longevity, the book argues that predictable death permeates the entire life course, contributing to the emergence of heightened social disparities. The book is organized into distinct sections, each exploring different dimensions of the topic. These sections include an examination of demography, the circumstances surrounding the dying individuals, and public policies that impact dying individuals and their families. Through a comprehensive analysis of these interconnected factors, the author also offers insights into strategies for reducing the occurrence of bad deaths, making it an avoidable event.
As a pioneering work in the field, Dying in Old Age: U.S. Practice and Policy holds significant appeal to advanced undergraduate students, graduate students, scholars, and policymakers specializing in sociology, social work, public health, and related disciplines. By providing a comprehensive exploration of the social consequences of end-of-life practices, the book contributes to our understanding of the complex dynamics shaping the lives of individuals nearing the end of their lives and their families.
