The New Neighborhood Senior Center: Redefining Social and Service Roles for the Baby Boom Generation
Joyce Weil
As the generation of baby boomers ages, cities, municipalities, and governments must grapple with the allocation of resources and funding for maintaining the quality of life, health, and standard of living for an aging population. Joyce Weil uses ethnographic methods to examine a working-class senior centre in Queens, New York. She explores the ways in which social structure directly affects the lives of older Americans and traces the role of political, social, and economic institutions and neighborhood processes in the decision to close such centres throughout New York.
