Demographic ageing is identified as a global challenge with significant social policy implications across local, national and international contexts. The 2008 economic crisis and related austerity policies further compound and complicate this challenge. Social policy pressures characterising ageing societies increasingly need to be understood within the context of the economic recession and the evolving circumstances of austerity. This book addresses a general neglect of this area as a research and policy topic by using Ireland as a site for unpacking social policy issues in ageing through austerity.
