Global Ageing in the Twenty-First Century (eBook, ePUB)

Challenges, Opportunities and Implications
Redaktion: McDaniel, Susan A.

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Given this variation in the context of global ageing as a backdrop, this edited book focuses on three overarching themes that are among the most critical to understand if societies are to age successfully in the twenty-first century and beyond: Healthy ageing and health care; the ageing workforce, retirement and the provision of pensions; shifting intergenerational relations. These three themes are cross-cut by other dimensions that are intertwined with the dynamic processes of ageing, such as immigration/emigration, contrasting policy regimes and global and national economic forces.
