Description:

This volume provides a broad picture of how elderly care is defined at a time when ageing is becoming increasingly defined as a social problem. It is an appropriate source for researchers in health and welfare, social policy and gerontology.

Synopsis:

In an era of changing demographics and values, this volume provides a cross-national and interdisciplinary perspective on the question of who cares for and about the elderly. The contributors reflect on research studies, experimental programmes and personal experience in Japan and the United States to explicitly compare how policies, practices and interpretations of elder care are evolving at the turn of the century.
