The journal emphasizes discussions of research findings theoretical issues and applied approaches and provides a comparative orientation to the study of aging in cultural contextsThe core of the journal comprises a broad range of articles dealing with global aging written from the perspectives of history anthropology sociology political science psychology population studies healthbiology etc. We welcome articles that examine aging within a particular cultural context compare aging and older adults across societies andor compare subcultural groupings or ethnic minorities within or across larger societies. Comparative analyses of topics relating to older adults such as aging within socialist vs. capitalist systems or within societies with different social service delivery systems also are appropriate for this journal. With societies becoming ever more multicultural and experiencing a graying of their population on a hitherto unprecedented scale the Journal of CrossCultural Gerontology stands at the forefront of one of the most pressing issues of our times.
