Social policy in ageing societies

Britain and Germany compared

by and

"This book provides a comprehensive comparative analysis of ageing and social policy in Germany and the UK, two leading and archetypal European welfare states. Each chapter provides an analysis of the current situation in each country, with some historical background, but focuses primarily on the major policy directions in each field and their future prospects. The book covers all of the main policy areas affecting older people, including pensions, employment, consumption, ethnicity, gender, health, social care, generational relations and social participation."--Jacket.
