Routledge Ageing in Asia: Asia's Position in the New Global Demography

Explore the changing landscape of global demography with Ageing in Asia: Asia's Position in the New Global Demography. Published by Routledge, this volume provides a deep look into how different regions of Asia are navigating the challenges and shifts of an ageing population. The text examines four central themes: the experience of old age, intergenerational relations, the economics and social policy of ageing, and the culture of longevity. By focusing on specific case studies from the former Soviet Union, South Asia, China, Japan, and South-East Asia, the book brings these important perspectives into the mainstream of comparative research. This work is designed to bridge the gap in current academic debates by placing Asian case studies within a broader global context. It offers a necessary look at how ageing issues emerge across diverse regions, making it a valuable resource for those studying sociology, anthropology, and global social policies.
