Law and the 100-Year Life

Longer lifespans raise questions that reach well beyond health care and retirement. This edited volume brings legal and policy perspectives to the ways extended lives may reshape careers, education, marriage, housing, and civic institutions. Its contributors consider whether a later-life period of productivity could form a “third demographic dividend,” while examining how law and policy might support—or deepen divisions among—aging citizens. The range spans health law and trusts and estates alongside criminal justice and education, making the book a broad inquiry into how legal frameworks intersect with demographic change.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • For readers interested in aging, longevity, and their social implications.
  • For those studying or working in law, public policy, or related fields.
  • For readers seeking legal perspectives across health, housing, education, and criminal justice.

Book overview

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.
