Abstract

The Cambridge Handbook of Age and Ageing, first published in 2005, is a guide to the body of knowledge, theory, policy and practice relevant to age researchers and gerontologists around the world. It contains almost 80 original chapters, commissioned and written by the world's leading gerontologists from 16 countries and 5 continents. The broad focus of the book is on the behavioural and social sciences but it also includes important contributions from the biological and medical sciences. It provides comprehensive, accessible and authoritative accounts of all the key topics in the field ranging from theories of ageing, to demography, physical aspects of ageing, mental processes and ageing, nursing and health care for older people, the social context of ageing, cross cultural perspectives, relationships, quality of life, gender, and financial and policy provision. This handbook will be a must-have resource for all researchers, students and professionals with an interest in age and ageing.

Abstract

This study reports on the latest trends in long-term care policies in nineteen OECD countries: Australia, Austria, Canada, Germany, Hungary, Ireland, Japan, Korea, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Mexico, Poland, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, and the United States. It studies lessons learned from countries that undertook major reforms over the past decade. Trends in expenditure, financing and the number of care recipients are analysed based on new data on cross-country differences. Special attention is given to experience with programmes that provide consumers of services with a choice of care options, including cash to family caregivers. Concise country profiles of long-term care systems and an overview on demography and living situations of older persons make this complex policy field more accessible.

Abstract

Cette étude rend compte des dernières évolutions des politiques en matière de soins de longue durée dans dix-neuf pays de l'OCDE : l'Allemagne, l'Australie, l'Autriche, le Canada, la Corée, l'Espagne, les États-Unis, la Hongrie, l'Irlande, le Japon, le Luxembourg, le Mexique, la Norvège, la Nouvelle-Zélande, les Pays-Bas, la Pologne, le Royaume-Uni, la Suède et la Suisse. Elle étudie les enseignements tirés de l'expérience des pays ayant engagé des réformes de grande ampleur au cours des dix dernières années. L'évolution des dépenses, des financements et du nombre des bénéficiaires des soins est analysée sur la base de données nouvelles concernant les différences observées d'un pays à l'autre. Une attention particulière est accordée aux programmes qui proposent diverses solutions aux consommateurs de ces services, et notamment aux prestations en espèces aux aidants naturels. Des profils concis des systèmes nationaux de soins de longue durée et un aperçu de la démographie et des conditions de vie des personnes âgées rendent plus accessible ce domaine politique complexe.
