Active Ageing In Asia (Routledge Studies In Social Welfare In Asia)

This book focuses on the experiences of East Asian countries where active aging has been implemented, and examines the impact this has had on rapidly aging societies. 'Active aging' offers a new social policy paradigm to redirect and innovate new social policies, particularly social services, social transfers, social regulations and laws, towards more investment in and support of the fast rising number of elderly citizens. It will appeal to students and scholars of social and public policy, social work, gerontology and health and social administration.
