Ageing populations present considerable challenges to welfare
states internationally, and East Asia is no exception. Demographics
show that countries in East Asia either have the highest proportion
of older people, or the speed at which their population is ageing
is faster than anywhere else in the world. This book explores the
causes and trends of population ageing in eight countries, and
discusses the challenges and impacts of population ageing on public
policies. East Asian countries have developed new policies to meet
older people's needs -- across health, social care, income
maintenance, employment and housing. Ageing in East Asia provides
the first comprehensive introduction to ageing policies in East
Asian countries. The book: * explores causes and trends of
population ageing * discusses the challenges and impacts of
population ageing on public policies * examines the important
strategic and theoretical policy contexts of ageing policies in
East Asian countries * covers eight East Asian countries in
dedicated chapters: examining Japan, China, South Korea, Taiwan,
Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand. This volume brings
East Asian countries clearly into focus, and illuminates the state
of welfare development internationally. It provides an important
resource for lecturers, students, researchers and policy makers
with interest in East Asia, older people and welfare policy.
