With a rapidly aging population throughout the world, the issue of
larger percentages of older adults has repercussions for both
policy and the job market. Whether a university student about to
seek a full-time job or a caregiver for an older person, Aging in
the Family should enhance the reader's knowledge and skills. The
main topics covered in this volume include marital status of older
adults, support systems within families, crises with older adults
within families, the resilience of older adults entering the latter
stages of life, practical information involving caregiving, aging
in place, and various social services for an aging population. The
reader will be made aware of intergenerational interactions between
older adults and other family members in various cultures. The role
of ethnicity and socio-economic status in health issues of older
adults will be discussed, as will the application of technology to
an aging population. Though problems certainly exist as one ages,
the overall thrust of the book is toward the positive aspects of
growing old. Numerous theories exist to probe research and
understanding of older adults in families. The relation between
theory and research will be helpful to many students of aging in
the family. Older adults are generally married, yet cohabitation
and other options are alive and well too. Ageism, death, and abuse,
unfortunately, are issues affecting aging. Yet, most older adults
in the US and Western Europe report living independently and being
satisfied with their lives. Aging in the Family will be an
interesting read for anyone wanting to learn about older adults and
family relationships, as it exhibits a blend of both theoretical
and practical matters.
