This book is a collection of work on aging and development from
authors from the global south. Aging is steadily evolving as a
public health and social crisis for which countries of the global
south are ill-prepared. The forces of development and improved
public health services have ensured that human being live longer.
But there is enough evidence that such longevity do not
commensurate with good health. As such, many countries of the
global south are seeing a booming population who are aging in poor
health, without the necessary safety net to ensure quality of life.
This book discusses work from Asia, Africa, and South America to
explore the challenges facing older adults. Topics include: aging
in institutions, living arrangements of older adults, food
insecurity, social isolation, end of life migration, and policy
papers. This is the first book to bring together varied
perspectives on the situation of older adults, and the challenges
and opportunities that lie in developing innovative, sustainable
programs to support elderly care services.
Poems from the hearts that will make relationships better. But you
have to mean the words you say.
