Reaching the Aged: Social Services in Forty-Four Countries

The original essays in this volume present an international review of services to the aged in a survey of forty-four countries. These services for care of the elderly range from organized social service systems to programs which draw upon, support or supplant family and kinship networks. The editors focus on the opportunities and challenges for new breakthroughs in social policy that exist in contemporary societies experiencing rapid increases in their aged populations.Teicher, Morton I. is the author of 'Reaching the Aged: Social Services in Forty-Four Countries', published 1979 under ISBN 9780803913653 and ISBN 0803913656.
