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.
