The ageing of the population is a demographic phenomenon, a social
problem and a policy issue. The increase in the numbers of aged and
in the costs of supporting and caring for them have also brought
increases in family care, in deinstitutionalisation of aged care
services and in issues of quality and outcomes of care and consumer
rights. The growing recognition of the feminisation of ageing also
has significant social and policy consequences. In this 1998 book,
Diane Gibson synthesises a wide range of material to provide an
overview of these issues and policy responses worldwide. The book
then looks in-depth at Australia, a country typical in the problems
it faces, and a world leader in many of its solutions. Gibson also
offers a more conceptual examination of theoretical implications
and practical consequences. She elucidates debates in ways which
will set new standards for aged care policy and practice worldwide.
