This book examines one of the most important demographic changes
facing the United States: an overall aging population and the
increasing influence of Latinos. It also looks at the changing
demographics in Mexico and its impact on the health and financial
well-being of aging Mexicans and Mexican Americans. The book
provides a conceptual and accessible framework that will educate
and inform readers about the interconnectedness of the demographic
trends facing these two countries. It also explores the ultimate
personal, social, and political impact they will have on all
Americans, in the U.S. as well as Mexico. Challenges of Latino
Aging in the Americas features papers presented at the 2013
International Conference on Aging in the Americas, held at the
University of Texas at Austin, September 2013. It brings together
the work of many leading scholars from the fields of sociology,
demography, psychology, anthropology, geography, social work,
geriatric medicine, epidemiology, and public affairs. Coverage in
this edited collection includes working with diverse populations;
culturally compatible interventions for diverse elderly; the
health, mental health, and social needs and concerns of aging
Latinos; and the policy, political, and bi-lateral implications of
aging and diversity in the U.S. and Mexico. The book provides a
rich blend of empirical evidence with insightful, cutting-edge
analysis that will serve as an insightful resource for researchers
and policy makers, professors and graduate students in a wide range
of fields, from sociology and demography to economics and political
science.
