AB In  the  2  decades  since  the  first  edition  of  this  book  was  published,  the  aging  of  the  global  population  has  continued  apace.  Although  some  realities  about  aging  remain  constant,  the  experience  has  changed  in  important  ways.  Many  of  these  changes  are  very  positive:  good  health  until  later  in  life,  continuing  engagement  with  important  occupations,  improved  societal  perceptions  about  aging  and  older  adults.  However,  these  positive  changes  do  not  represent  universal  realities.  In  some  places,  older  adults  continue  to  be  marginalized  and  devalued.  Good  health  is  not  a  certainty,  particularly  in  the  developing  world  and  among  lower  socioeconomic  groups.  Ensuring  adequate  financial  and  instrumental  resources  can  be  a  struggle  for  many.
