This handbook provides a comprehensive look into the emerging issues confronting ageing societies across the world. Drawing on scholarship from Africa, the Americas, Asia Pacific and Europe, it explores different dimensions of ageing, gender, health, environment, care, elder abuse, generational relationships, and grief.
The volume adopts a gerontological perspective to evaluate ageing-specific policies and places emphasis on guiding research and practice towards achieving a better quality of life for older people across the world.
