Our population is aging. What will we do about it?
Due to population explosion and a global increase in average life expectancies, an unprecedentedly high percentage of the world′s population is aging. By the middle of this century there will be up to 2 billion individuals over the age of 65, a demographic shift never before experienced in our human history. In addition, declining birth rates in industrialized countries means a decrease in the number of adults under 64. InAging Social Policies: An International Perspective the authors consider how policy - domestic and international - affects and will continue to affect the lives of our aging population.
Includes bibliographical references (p. 255-277) and index.
Our aging societies : the setting for aging social policy -- The aging social policy process -- Retirement income -- Employment -- Housing -- Health care -- Mental health care -- Community resources -- Family care -- Aging social policy challenges.
