Description:

This book challenges students to think about the future of aging policy as it relates to issues of access and financing of aging policies and programs.

Synopsis:

In Aging 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. Key Features Two approaches-international comparisons on aging and the relationship between macro social policy and real people's lives-provide the foundation for understanding aging social policy. The connection between macro and micro is reinforced through descriptions of the varied ways in which different countries construct social policies and their direct effect on an older adult's quality of life. Chapter-opening quotes-from a politician or leader in related fields and from an older adult-demonstrate the policy-person link. Each chapter concludes with an interview with an older adult, adding a depth of understanding and insight to the human concerns behind the social policies.
