The global phenomenon of the aging of societies during a period of
outstanding scientific, economic, and technological advancements is
a blessing for humanity. These fundamental changes, however, create
new needs and problems in all areas of life, often difficult to
address. In some countries, the trend is towards compression of the
period of age-related morbidity - fewer years of living with
disabilities - but the absolute numbers of elderly people living
with disabilities are increasing worldwide. This book highlights a
series of global threats, problems and challenges in the areas of
care and caregiving, through the prism of three multicultural
nations: the United States, Israel and Australia. The contributors
to this book, experts in their fields, focus on the art of
caregiving at the national level, including the interface between
family and state responsibilities, policies and practices in the
provision of services, and the demands for education and training,
as well as the problems and difficulties faced by family
caregivers. This is the second of two edited volumes on aging and
caregiving. The first, ""Lessons on Aging from Three Nations -
Volume I: The Art of Aging Well"", examines positive aspects of and
successful adaptations to aging. This book will be of interest to
students of gerontology and geriatrics; those working in
nongovernmental organizations - private, for-profit and non-profit
agencies, including voluntary charitable and religious groups,
those working in national regional and local governments, and all
general readers intrigued with the aging of societies and
longevity.
