Overview"In almost all of the world's nations, improved life expectancy and decreasing birth rates have made people older than sixty the fastest-growing demographic group. ""Ageing in the Mediterranean"" fills a gap in the literature on our aging societies, providing a detailed portrait of the diverse factors responsible for shaping aging policies across the region. Analyzing rich data from countries including Israel, Italy, Lebanon, Malta, Portugal, Tunisia, and Turkey, this volume's global cast of contributors highlight the idiosyncratic ways in which these nations approach such issues as migration, caregiving, employment, health care, and many others."
