RÉSUMÉLa majorité des 14 essais contenus dans cet ouvrage ont été rédigés en vue d'une conférence ayant pour thème la politique du vieillissement dans les années 80, tenue à l'Université Florida State en mars 1989. Les éditeurs, John Myles et Jill Quadagno, sont parvenus à réunir un groupe d'érudits reconnus à l'échelle internationale qui avaient pour mandat de fournir des réponses politiques et sociales aux changements démographiques et économiques survenus dans divers pays industrialisés depuis le milieu des années 70. Le fruit de ce travail consiste en une compilation fascinante «… des résultats d'expériences menées à l'échelle nationale afin d'élaborer un paradigme social, économique et politique capable de résoudre de nouveaux problèmes dans l'organisation de la production et de la vie sociale» (p. 7). Conformément à l'intérêt des éditeurs vis-à-vis des analyses critiques du vieillissement, cet ouvrage repose sur l'hypothèse selon laquelle «… les transformations dans la structure de la vie se produisent à l'intersection des marchés du travail et de l'État…» (p. 7). Par conséquent, la Section I du livre, qui comporte huit chapitres, aborde la politique du vieillissement, tandis que la Section II, composée de cinq chapitres et d'un épilogue, met l'accent sur la situation des travailleurs âgés sur le marché du travail. Le principal point d'intérêt de cet ouvrage est dans les arguments au plan social que les différents pays fournissent afin de justifier leurs expériences à l'échelle nationale et favoriser leur mise en oeuvre. Le succès de la rhétorique dépend de la nature de la politique du vieillissement et de la configuration sousjacente des classes dans chaque pays.

Abstract We aimed to further investigate the linguistic-savings hypothesis (Chen, 2013) in the field of aging, which maintains that when languages grammatically divide the future and the present (e.g. English and Czech), speakers tend to behave less future-oriented than those speaking languages that do not mark future tense (e.g. German and Chinese). In the 2018 wave of Aging as Future Project, 2,042 participants from the United States, Germany, Czech Republic, Hong Kong and Taiwan (18-93 year, Mean age= 55.47, 55.61% female) completed online questionnaires. The results supported the hypothesis that people speaking future-less languages tended to perceive the timing of preparation for old age closer to the present in terms of finance, living arrangement, nursing care, and loneliness, they also took action earlier and performed more relevant activities. Furthermore, the association between language and preparation timing was more salient in older adults than younger counterparts. And path analysis revealed that time discounting was a significant predictor (P=0.049) for the future-oriented behavior. Hence, speakers of futureless languages will view the future as temporally closer to the present, causing them to discount the future less and prepare for old age actively. Using LIWC 2017, we then analyzed community-level of future orientation with 80 million Tweets across countries and replicated our principal result through that usage of future-oriented languages partly predicted prevalence of health behaviors. The findings indicate that language not only shape people's own future-oriented outcomes, through decreasing time discounting, but also influence population health as a whole.

The Relationship

79 retired persons in the third-age university were asked about their relationships with their grandchildren and relationships in general. The ages of the 63 women and 16 men ranged from 54 to 82 years ( M of 66 years); 62% were married, 28% divorced or widowed, 61% lived with spouse, 34% lived alone, 4% with their adult children, and only one person in an old-age home. The average number of grandchildren was three. Analysis showed relations with their grandchildren were judged as very good or good (91%). The grandparenting role was diverse: the grandparent gave a grandchild love or affection, care, shelter, life experience, moral values, company, closeness, trust, aid, and support. The grandchild benefitted from the relationship affectively, cognitively, and materially. The grandchild gave a grandparent joy, inspiration, tenderness and love, contentment, life attitudes, closeness and company, and hope and faith for the future.
