As the chapters of the Handbook of Sociology of Aging have shown, many remarkable and ground-breaking strides have been made in the field over the past 30 years.

In this final chapter, we identify some of the most provocative or pressing topics that might be nurtured in the decade ahead and how sociology can play a role in understanding them.
