Recent studies suggest that many Americans will be able to live longer than ever –reaching 100 in record numbers and experiencing a greater quality of life throughout. Such a demographic shift would transform society and the law across domains from medical care to employment to education and beyond.
Given the far-reaching implications of the 100-year life, a new 300-page open access book provides the first comprehensive look at how the law will affect, and be affected by, the new longevity: Law and the 100 Year Life: Transforming Our Institutions for a Longer Lifespan.
The authors and editors cast a very broad net, including topics both closely related to aging (such as health law, elder law, and trusts and estates) and less obvious but still critical areas for study (such as family law, housing, and infrastructure provision).
