| Description: |
This book compares aging in the US, UK, Sweden, Japan, China, Nepal and South Africa, discussing new policies needed to deal with their rapidly changing demographics. It explores both the challenges and advantages of aging in these contrasting societies. |
| Synopsis: |
This book examines the key aging processes in seven countries (United States, United Kingdom, Sweden, Japan, China, Nepal, and South Africa) and the main policies that have been, and are being, developed to deal with this rapid change in the demographic profile. It addresses the problems that are identified as well as the positive aspects of aging within each of these contrasting societies. Thus it makes a significant contribution to the major debates about growing old across the globe. |
