520			_aFrom the Publisher: Each volume of the Facts On File Library in a Book series is carefully designed to be a first-stop research source on important current issues. Written clearly and carefully so that even the most complex aspects of the topic are easily understandable, the books give the reader the essential information to begin work, plus the research tools needed to delve more deeply into the issues. Each book includes a history of the subject, biographical information on important figures in the field, a complete annotated bibliography, and a carefully designed index-everything the researcher needs to get down to work. The elderly have traditionally been a segment of the population treated with respect and veneration. Numerous societal changes, however, have raised practical concerns about how to best care for an aging population without overburdening younger and future generations. Necessities that many take for granted-employment, medical care, and housing-are often difficult for the elderly to obtain. Government programs such as Social Security and Medicare are constantly threatened by privatization. As baby boomers continue to retire, questions surrounding the rights of the elderly become more and more pronounced. Rights of the Elderly provides an overview of the history of this timely topic and opinions surrounding it, ranging from the Social Security Act of 1935 to the current activism of groups such as AARP and the Gray Panthers. Examining contemporary case studies such as Kathi Cooper, et al. v. IBM Personal Pension Plan and IBM Corporation and documents such as The Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967, this new volume provides multiple perspectives and decisions surrounding this increasingly important issue while also projecting a course for the future of the rights of the elderly.
