"This book is the first to examine in detail the experiences and prospects of population ageing in those Asian countries with the highest GDP per capita. The authors pose the question to what extent Asia and old Europe can learn from each other in terms of policy planning. The first section of the book sets out the field in terms of the demographic characteristics and policy predicaments of European and Asian countries. The second section presents case-studies of six countries: Japan, Hong Kong, Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan and Malaysia." "The book will greatly interest academics, postgraduates and professionals in gerontology, social policy, comparative social policy, public policy, political economy, sociology, social work and social security."--BOOK JACKET.
