The volume takes four key themes related to ageing - the experience
of old age; intergenerational relations; economics of and social
policy for ageing; longevity and the culture of ageing - and
examines how these issues are emerging in different regions of
Asia, specifically, the former Soviet Union, South Asia, China,
Japan and South-East Asia. In placing these Asian cases studies in
the broader context of debates about, and policies on, ageing more
generally, it brings them into the mainstream of comparative
research on ageing from which they have been too often excluded. As
the studies show, the relationship between ageing and poverty is a
complex one and often reflects policy towards the aged rather than
that the aged themselves are unproductive and dependent. Ageing,
moreover, can no longer be considered as simply a national
question; we also need to consider the implications of its global
dimension in terms of issues such as human rights and quality of
life.
