How does cumulative advantage or disadvantage impact the experience of aging?

Cumulative Advantage/Disadvantage
The concept of cumulative advantage (or as some call disadvantage) is critical to understanding the economics of aging. In this week’s discussion assignment, I refer to both advantage AND disadvantage to remind us that we need to be considering both. This week’s assignment, I’d like you to write a 4 paragraph essay on the following questions. Note: Don’t just list the questions with answers. For this upper level course, I ask you to write in essay form to link ideas together. 1. Summarize the concept of cumulative advantage (and disadvantage). 2. How does cumulative advantage or disadvantage impact the experience of aging? 3. From the readings, explain the role of economic public policy in cumulative disadvantage.
