Growing Old with the Welfare State Eight British Lives
Nick Hubble, "Growing Old with the Welfare State: Eight British Lives"
English | ISBN: 135003309X | 2019 | 176 pages | EPUB | 904 KB
The combined effect of the welfare state and medical advances means that more people now live longer lives than ever before in history.

Growing Old with the Welfare State challenges these stereotypes by bringing together eight previously unpublished stories of ordinary British people born between 1925 and 1945 to show contemporary ageing in a new light. These biographical narratives, six of which were written as part of the Mass Observation Project, reflect on and compare the experience of living in two post-war periods of social change, after the first and second world wars.
