This handbook provides a comprehensive look into the emerging issues confronting ageing societies across the world. Drawing on scholarship from Africa, the Americas, Asia Pacific and Europe, it explores different dimensions of ageing, gender, health, environment, care, elder abuse, generational relationships, and grief.
The volume adopts a gerontological perspective to evaluate ageing-specific policies and places emphasis on guiding research and practice towards achieving a better quality of life for older people across the world. It argues that new developments because of changing age structures, support ratios, family relationships and socioeconomic situations call for innovative practices, in terms of health and social care facilities, livelihood opportunities, retirement options, skill development and educational learning.
Lucid and accessible, the handbook will be of interest to those working in gerontology, ageing, health, death studies, social care, public health policy, human rights law, sociology and social policy, gender studies, cultural studies, medical sociology, political sociology, mental health, and social sciences.
