As the world undergoes huge demographic shifts with aging populations
and increasing life expectancy, it is essential to recognize the
importance of understanding aging in different international,
cultural, social, and economic contexts. This book aims to explore the
diverse experiences of growing older across various regions and
societies. By adopting an international perspective, this book will
critically analyze the unique challenges and opportunities that arise
in different aging populations in Asia, Americas, EU and Africa.
Through this exploration, readers can gain a deeper understanding of
aging and develop more effective strategies to support older
individuals across the globe relating to pensions, employment, care
and leisure. The purpose of this book is to shed light on the
diversity of aging experiences internationally and examine the
cultural, social, economic, and public policy factors that shape these
experiences. By adopting an international approach, this book
illuminates the variations in expectations, perceptions, and practices
related to aging. This book seeks to promote a broader understanding
of aging that goes beyond singular narratives and encourages the
development of inclusive and contextually relevant approaches to aging
and care.
