Living Longer: Ageing, Development and Social ProtectionPeter Lloyd-Sherlock Zed Books, 2004 - 308 pagine Accelerated population ageing, long a significant issue for developed countries, is now becoming important in the developing world too. Population ageing is one of the great achievements of the past century - although it brings its own social, economic, political and cultural challenges. The quality of life of older people is strongly conditioned by their capacity to manage opportunities and risks. Social protection, both formal and informal, can be critical. |
