| Abstract
|
:
|
"Contemporary Issues in Gerontology helps students and practitioners to better understand and cater for the needs of our ageing population. It examines how services can be provided to meet the expectations and needs of a growing population of ageing citizens within a cost-effective, social justice and positive ageing framework. It identities how resources allocated to aged care can be distributed equitably to better meet the demands associated with housing, retirement, service provision and care, and how health promotion principles can contribute to a healthy older population." "This book is essential reading for students and practitioners of gerontology, medicine, nursing, allied health, health management, social work and public policy."--Jacket.
