Social Gerontology Scholarly Journal

 Social Gerontology is a subfield of gerontology that focuses on the social aspect of growing old. Professionals in this field strive to improve the interactions between older adults and the rest of the world, including family members, peers, and healthcare professionals. They also try to help older adults live more independent and active lifestyles.   Social gerontology is especially important. We are now faced with the members of the Baby Boomer generation growing older. Communities and healthcare professionals are now attempting to focus their efforts on making this transition as easy as possible, and there are a number of openings for individuals interested in social gerontology careers.
