Caring for the Elderly in Japan and the US: Practices and Policies (Routledge Advances in Asia-Pacific Studies): Long, Susan Orpett: 9780415223522: Amazon.com: Books
In an era of changing demographics and values, this volume provides a cross-national and interdisciplinary perspective on the question of who cares for and about the elderly. The contributors reflect on research studies, experimental programmes and personal experience in Japan and the United States to explicitly compare how policies, practices and interpretations of elder care are evolving at the turn of the century.
Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings help customers to learn more about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them.
To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyzed reviews to verify trustworthiness.
A cogent, articulate work comparing and contrasting elder care in vastly divergent cultures. Not just for the academic reader, the selected papers are surprising accessable. Pleasurable and fascinating.
