Abstract
As the title of the first essay in this collection suggests, the welfare of the elderly is a topic of special concern to the citizens of the state. Every eighth Iowan is sixty-five years of age or older. Only a handful of states have the proportion of elderly residents that this state does. Moreover, though the rate of growth of elderly citizens in Iowa has diminished, the aged portion of the state's population continues to grow faster than the under sixty-five portion. In recent years the needs and problems of the elderly have been recognized as important issues in virtually all areas of the country, but here in Iowa they are especially relevant to the attention of public policy makers.
