This book is concerned with the general issues of ageing, learning and education for the elderly and then with the more specific issues of why, how and what elders want to learn. This monograph consists of 10 chapters written by various internationally renowned researchers and scholar-practitioners in the field.

Her research interests are in learning and its implications for education across the lifespan. Her recent research is focused on moral development in early childhood, ageing and learning,  and sustainable communities for seniors. She has published widely and been involved with a large number of funded research projects.

Maureen Tam is Associate Professor in Elderly Education in the Department of International Education and Lifelong Learning at the Hong Kong Institute of Education (HKIEd).
