This study builds on earlier work which challenged the narrow policy focus on economic and employment-centred understandings of the ageing of Australia's population.

The researchers engaged directly with older adults, listening to the stories that they tell about their lives, aspirations and disappointments, in order to better understand the experiences and values that shape later life.
