This title in other formats:Work and Caring for the Elderly: A Primary Care Approachby M. Lechner Viola
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Families throughout the world are experiencing unprecedented changes in their domestic and employment responsibilities, namely, more women work than ever before, and more elders are in need of care from their family members.
This book examines how eleven geographically dispersed countries in various stages of economic and social development are responding to the work-elder care dilemma: Sweden, Germany, Canada, the United States, Great Britain, Japan, Israel, Mexico, Brazil, China and Uganda. The book raises awareness of the full range of options for addressing the work-elder care challenge, and increases appreciation of the factors influencing the selection of specific options. Book News Annotation:Lechner (social work, St. John's U.) and Neal (urban studies and
planning, Portland State U.) gather 13 chapters that explore the
social policies that effect and respond to the changing nature of
domestic and employment responsibilities across the world.
Comparative studies of Sweden, Canada, Germany, the United Sates,
Great Britain, Japan, Israel, Mexico, Brazil, China, and Uganda
analyze how different economic, political, sociocultural,
demographic, and historical factors define and limit how families and
societies care for their elderly.
