Law and the 100-Year Life addresses the growing trend of Americans living longer and healthier lives, with many reaching the age of 100. An aging nation presents new challenges for society, which must be reimagined to accommodate longer and more varied careers, multiple marriages, and defining moments of education. This volume explores the possibility of a 'third demographic dividend', a new period of productivity following middle age, and the potential for law and policy to support or divide aging citizens. Leading scholars across various fields come together to explore topics related to aging, such as health law and trusts and estates, as well as less obvious but equally important areas like housing, criminal justice, and education. This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.

Reviews for Law and the 100-Year Life: Transforming Our Institutions for a Longer Lifespan

'It seems everyone wants to live longer and longer, but Alstott, Gluck, and Rusyn are among the brave few willingly to peer into the near-term future and confront the social, economic, legal, and other problems created by centenarian societies. This book begins the absolutely invaluable task of delineating potential solutions to these problems. It will serve as the guidebook for all future work to create livable and just centenarian societies. Inevitably all of us-who will live long- will have to engage with its proposals.' Ezekiel J. Emanuel, Levy University Professor, Perelman School of Medicine and The Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania
