The numbers of aged and the cost of supporting and caring for them are increasing, as is the feminization of aging. Diane Gibson provides a broad overview of the issues and policy responses worldwide, and an in-depth study of Australia--a country with typical problems and some world-leading solutions. She also offers a more conceptual look at theoretical implications and practical consequences. This book will set new standards for aged care policy and practice worldwide. |
