Towards Globalizing the Experience of Aging?.  aAs the world undergoes huge demographic shifts with aging populations and increasing life expectancy, it is essential to recognize the importance of understanding aging in different international, cultural, social, and economic contexts. This book aims to explore the diverse experiences of growing older across various regions and societies. By adopting an international perspective, this book will critically analyze the unique challenges and opportunities that arise in different aging populations in Asia, Americas, EU and Africa. Through this exploration, readers can gain a deeper understanding of aging and develop more effective strategies to support older individuals across the globe relating to pensions, employment, care and leisure. The purpose of this book is to shed light on the diversity of aging experiences internationally and examine the cultural, social, economic, and public policy factors that shape these experiences. By adopting an international approach, this book illuminates the variations in expectations, perceptions, and practices related to aging. This book seeks to promote a broader understanding of aging that goes beyond singular narratives and encourages the development of inclusive and contextually relevant approaches to aging and care. 0aPsychology.963758 0aSociology.957193 0aAge distribution (Demography).966151 0aSocial policy.960914 0aSocial sciencesxPhilosophy.96080314aBehavioral Sciences and Psychology.96807524aSociology.95719324aAging Population.96615224aGlobal Social Policy.97844524aSocial Theory.9580502 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer Nature eBook08iPrinted edition:z978303167171508iPrinted edition:z978303167173908iPrinted edition:z9783031671746 0aInternational Perspectives on Aging,x2197-585X ;v4393085340uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-67172-2  aZDB-2-BSP  aZDB-2-SXBP  c63067d63067
