Description

This scholarly volume examines elder care across Japan and the United States through a cross-national lens, bringing together research studies, experimental programmes, and firsthand accounts that illuminate how policies and practices surrounding elderly care differ and evolve between these two nations. Contributors from multiple disciplines analyse the changing demographics and cultural values that shape care systems, offering insights into contemporary approaches to supporting ageing populations. The book addresses practical caregiving methods, policy frameworks, and interpretations of elder care at a critical juncture in social history, making it essential reading for students, researchers, and professionals in gerontology, sociology, anthropology, social policy, and healthcare administration who seek to understand how different societies approach the challenge of providing dignified, effective care for older adults.
