The surprise election of Donald J. Trump to the presidency of the United States marks a singular turning point in the American republic – not only because of his idiosyncratic approach to the office, but also because the Republican Party now holds the presidency and both houses of Congress, presenting a historic opportunity for change. The role of older Americans has been critical in both shaping and reacting to this political moment. Their political orientations and behaviors have shaped it through their electoral support for Republican candidates. But, older Americans stand as highly invested stakeholders in the policy decisions made by the very officials they elected and as beneficiaries of the programs that Republicans have targeted for cuts or elimination.This comprehensive volume explores the ways in which Trump administration policies are likely to significantly undermine the social safety net for near-elderly and older Americans, including long-term care, housing, health care, and retirement. The authors also explore how the Trump administration might shape politics and political behavior through the policy changes made. The response of older voters, in upcoming elections, to efforts by the Trump administration and its Republican allies in Congress to draw back on the federal government’s commitment to programs and policies affecting them will shape the direction of aging policy and politics for years to come.This book was originally published as a special issue of the Journal of Aging & Social Policy.

How can public policy support the growing population providing unpaid care to people with disabilities, older people, or people with dementia, and what are the policy implications of the growing need for caregivers? This book presents a variety of perspectives on this topic, ranging from policies enabling caregivers to remain in the workforce to the impact of caregiving support on the utilization of healthcare and other services.More and more people across the globe are becoming family caregivers: they are providing unpaid care to a loved one who is perhaps chronically ill, has a disability, or has dementia. This responsibility can affect the health and wellbeing of not only the person receiving care, but also the caregiver. While the physical, emotional, and financial consequences of caregiving are receiving growing attention, less attention is paid to the policies that aim to mitigate those impacts, as well as the broader policy implications of this increasing population of caregivers. This volume was inspired by the need to highlight this growing body of research, addressing topics that range from strategies enabling caregivers to remain in the workforce to the impact of caregiving support on the utilization of healthcare and other services. Given the important role that family caregivers play in improving the lives of people needing care, it is critical that the policies that impact their ability to do so be understood and examined.This book was originally published as a special issue of the Journal of Aging & Social Policy.
