How can we be happier, healthier and more satisfied in life? This
edited collection examines various dimensions of wellbeing among
older people, including its measurement; social, environmental and
economic determinants; and how research can be translated into
policy to improve quality of life for older people. With an
increasingly ageing population across countries and an increasing
population of older adults, there is growing interest in improving
older people's ability to live healthily and happily. With a focus
on retirement and aged care, this book is important reading for
those interested in Welfare Economics, Health Economics and
Development.
This book presents a collection of chapters that examine various
dimensions of development. Between 2000 and 2015, the Millennium
Development Goals (MDGs) remained the overarching development
framework that governed the international development community.
After a decade and half of commitment to the MDGs, the framework is
widely considered a success, although progress reported across
countries has been uneven. The new overarching international
development framework may not be successful or present the best
opportunities for the desired global change without a better
understanding of factors that contributed the most or the least to
the attainment of the MDGs. The chapters presented in this book
provide discussions and insights into understanding these factors
better. They represent a collection of scholarship that address
some of the important questions in international development. They
adopt a wide range of research methods to provide insight into what
works, and what does not, in promoting the stipulated development
goals.
