The aim of this book is to present the specific challenges ageing societies in selected Central and Eastern European countries face, with a particular focus on Polish society. Questions to be addressed in this volume include: How does demographic ageing influence societal change? How can we overcome age discrimination? Who will care for increasing numbers of older dependents at a time when the numbers of potential family carers is dwindling? How will family change impact on intergenerational solidarity? How can the specific skills of the young and the old be combined in the workplace? How are policy makers and politicians dealing with the ageing issues? How can the public pensions systems be made financially sustainable to prevent poverty and social exclusion of older people? 517 3 $aThe Ageing Societies of Central & Eastern Europe 606 $aOlder people$xSocial aspects$zEurope, Central 606 $aOlder people$xSocial aspects$zEurope, Eastern 606 $aAge distribution (Demography)$xEconomic aspects$zEurope, Central 606 $aAge distribution (Demography)$xEconomic aspects$zEurope, Eastern 615 0$aOlder people$xSocial aspects 615 0$aOlder people$xSocial aspects 615 0$aAge distribution (Demography)$xEconomic aspects 615 0$aAge distribution (Demography)$xEconomic aspects 676 $a305.260943 702 $aPerek-Bialas$b Jolant 702 $aHoff$b Andreas 712 02$aEastern-European Ageing Societies in Transition (EAST) Network. 712 02$aUniwersytet Jagiellon?ski.$bInstytut Socjologii. 712 02$aUniversity of Oxford.$bOxford Institute of Ageing. 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910790168903321 996 $aThe ageing societies of Central and Eastern Europe$93796603 997 $aUNINA
