Sommario/riassunto

This handbook presents the latest information on all aspects of global aging, with a focus on Asia, including policies, age-associated diseases and conditions, health services, long-term care, living arrangements,



income and social security, preventing abuse, and the impact of migration on the elderly. Further, the book presents a synthesis of research on population aging, social protection policies, crimes against the elderly, new analyses of trends, and discussions of major social policy strategies. Written by academics, practitioners and policymakers in the field of gerontology, the book offers an informative resource for demographers, gerontologists, economists, anthropologists and other social scientists studying various facets of aging, as well as students in the social and health sciences.
