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.
"Aging, Health, and Longevityin the Mexican-Origin
Population"creates a foundation for an interdisciplinary discussion
of the trajectory of disability and long-term care for older people
of Mexican-origin from a bi-national perspective. Although the
literature on Latino elders in the United States is growing, few of
these studies or publications offer the breadth and depth contained
in this book.

This most timely, authoritative, and insightful book provides a
new framework for understanding the circumstances currently
surrounding America's elderly. It establishes the important
foundation of three key forces which are changing the national
perspective on the aging. They are: generational claims on the
government to respond to social needs; diversity in aging
populations; and increasing longevity. Torres-Gil provides a
context, supported by informative background material, for
recognizing the significant demographic changes being experienced
in the United States. The work considers the policy issues,
decisions, controversies, and choices now associated with aging and
demonstrates how the perception of the elderly has changed from the
1960s and 1970s to today. It asks what is fair in the allocation of
public and private resources to the elderly. How does the nation
pay for services? How do we make and implement the political and
economic decisions with which a government and a society are now
faced?
Torres-Gil examines the ability of the government and the active
labor force to support a large elderly population and urges a
change in the current delivery of services and benefits. He
addresses all the essential issues necessary to avoid
inter-generational conflict--including comprehensive planning, the
building of social consensus, and inter-generational
coalitions.
