Ageing in the Asia-Pacific Region Issues, Policies and Future Trends

The Asia-Pacific region is now clearly witnessing the rapid ageing of many of its nations, to the extent that it will soon be the region with, relatively, the largest number of older persons. This book focuses on the challenges that this demographic trend poses to economies and societies in the region, and the policies that have evolved to date to meet new demands. It looks forward over the coming decades to consider how societies and economies will deal with ageing and the necessary structural and behavioural changes that this will entail.Phillips, David R. is the author of 'Ageing in the Asia-Pacific Region Issues, Policies and Future Trends' with ISBN 9780415220187 and ISBN 0415220181.
