With the aspiration for a long life now achievable for many individuals, the status of old age as a distinct social position has become problematic. In this radical re-examination of the nature of old age, Paul Higgs and Chris Gilleard reveal the emergence of a ’fourth age’ that embodies the most feared and marginalised aspects of old age, conceptually linked to and yet distinct from traditional models of old age.
