The contributors to this book present case studies of elder care in
China and India, and draw comparisons between the two -
illuminating some of the key issues facing the two largest Asian
countries as they develop rapidly. Caring for the elderly is a
major challenge for all countries, and one which is of acute
concern for rapidly developing economies. Development tends to run
counter to long-established cultural norms of family-based caring
and filial piety, even as it also tends to lead to longer life
expectancy. Taking a range of methodological and conceptual
approaches to understanding these challenges, the contributors
present a multifaceted understanding of elder care issues in both
India and China. They focus in particular on caregiving within
families and at care homes - and the impacts these have on quality
of life and the experience of caregiving for both caregivers and
the aged themselves. An invaluable collection for scholars and
students of gerontology and aging in Asia, that will also be of
great interest to scholars with a broader interest in global trends
in caregiving.
