Beskrivning
Our population is aging. What will we do about it?Due to population explosion and a global increase in average life expectancies, an unprecedentedly high percentage of the world′s population is aging. By the middle of this century there will be up to 2 billion individuals over the age of 65, a demographic shift never before experienced in our human history. In addition, declining birth rates in industrialized countries means a decrease in the number of adults under 64. 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.

Recensioner i media

Inclusion of the international perspective helps students better understand U.S. aging policy. Otherwise, they are sucked into the misperception that the U.S. way is the only way.
