Abstract:
The aged were seen as the 'forgotten people' from 1880 to 1945, whereas there were hopes for a new deal from 1945 to 1980. Major themes include family histories of aged care, poverty, social and medical policy, gender, the impact of wars and economic depression, housing, nursing homes and the retirement debates. Old Age in Australia is essential historical context for current concerns about the implications of population ageing in Australia in the future
