Book excerpt: Textes colligés par Jacques Palard et Jean Vézina Compte rendu de la troisième édition des Rencontres Champlain-Montaigne Québec, 4-6 mai 2005 Qui n’éprouve pas avec crainte ou nostalgie la résonance intérieure des mots du poète-chanteur : « Mourir, cela n’est rien, mais vieillir... » ? Source de peurs individuelles et collectives, le vieillissement représente un véritable défi pour nos sociétés occidentales, fondées sur le progrès et la modernité, et pour leurs responsables politiques, qu’ils soient nationaux ou locaux. Pour cela même, nous sommes invités à une vision renouvelée de l’avancée en âge par la saisie de possibilités inédites et créatrices sur le terrain des relations intergénérationnelles, de l’aménagement du territoire, de la question éthique, de l’offre de services sociaux et sanitaires, de l’engagement associatif et politique... Dès lors, comment ne pas y déceler un domaine d’élection pour un opportun croisement des regards, source d’analyse comparée, de confrontation des pratiques et de dialogue entre chercheurs et acteurs ? L’importance de ces enjeux a conduit les inspirateurs québécois et français des Rencontres Champlain-Montaigne à faire du vieillissement le thème de leur troisième colloque. Ce moment particulier de réflexion a permis de discerner dans le vieillissement un indicateur privilégié de la transformation des formes de solidarité et de responsabilité et un vecteur de modalités nouvelles de la construction du lien civique.

Book excerpt: Learn how public policies can help families provide the care their elderly relatives need Family and Aging Policy examines how public initiatives to assist the elderly in the United States, Canada, Singapore, Denmark, and Sweden can impact families who provide them with long-term care. For the majority of older people, the aging experience involves their families directly and indirectly, affecting income security, housing, and health care. This unique book addresses the aging issues that matter most to families struggling to deal with the demands of care giving and provides answers on how the public sector can help. As the traditional nuclear family becomes a memory and the notion of extended family disappears, the need for public interventions to help the elderly increases. A significant number of people grow old without families they can depend on. Others have families who want to help, but lack the financial means or the housing needed to provide care. Family and Aging Policy offers options on how families and formal services can share responsibilities, including how families can juggle jobs and care giving, the effects of the Family and Medical Leave Act, consumer-directed service options, community-based care programs, accessory dwelling units and zoning ordinances, and provisions for caregiver support in each of the 50 United States and the District of Columbia. Family and Aging Policy examines: extensive welfare programs in Sweden publicly funded home care programs in Denmark family-oriented social policies in Singapore shared responsibilities of families and formal services in Canada the Administration on Aging’s National Family Caregiver Support program in the United States California Caregiver Resource Centers and much more! Family and Aging Policy is an invaluable tool for researchers and policy analysts working in family policy issues and as an essential supplemental text for course work in gerontology, sociology, family relations, and social work.

Download or read book Age-Friendly Cities and Communities in International Comparison written by Thibauld Moulaert and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-12-01 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The supportive role of urban spaces in active aging is explored on a world scale in this unique resource, using the WHO’s Age-Friendly Cities and Community model. Case studies from the U.S., Canada, Australia, Hong Kong, and elsewhere demonstrate how the model translates to fit diverse social, political, and economic realities across cultures and continents, ways age-friendly programs promote senior empowerment, and how their value can be effectively assessed. Age-friendly criteria for communities are defined and critiqued while extensive empirical data describe challenges as they affect elders globally and how environmental support can help meet them. These chapters offer age-friendly cities as a corrective to the overemphasis on the medical aspects of elders’ lives, and should inspire new research, practice, and public policy. Included in the coverage: A critical review of the WHO Age-Friendly Cities Methodology and its implementation. Seniors’ perspectives on age-friendly communities. The implementation of age-friendly cities in three districts of Argentina. Age-friendly New York City: a case study. Toward an age-friendly European Union. Age-friendliness, childhood, and dementia: toward generationally intelligent environments. With its balance of attention to universal and culture-specific concerns, Age-Friendly Cities and Communities in International Comparison will be of particular interest to sociologists, gerontologists, and policymakers. “Given the rapid adoption of the age-friendly perspective, following its development by the World Health Organization, the critical assessment offered in this volume is especially welcome”.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: D'ici à 2050, la proportion de personnes âgées de plus de 60 ans devrait passer dans les pays développés de 20 % à 33 % de la population. Si l'allongement de l'espérance de vie est un extraordinaire progrès de civilisation, il pose aussi de redoutables défis. L'enjeu est de permettre ce vieillissement dans les meilleures conditions possibles, pour les personnes concernées et leur entourage. Certains pays, comme le Japon ou l'Allemagne, sont engagés dans cette voie de longue date. En France, tout reste à faire. Ce qui se décide aujourd'hui est capital pour éviter une crise du vieillissement dans vingt ans. Cet ouvrage, issu d'un rapport remis en 2013 au gouvernement, s'appuie sur une analyse élargie de la question du vieillissement pour proposer 10 mesures concrète et efficace à prendre pour relever ce défi.

Book excerpt: In the late 1990s age is a pressing concern on a scale previously unimaginable in the social sciences and caring professions. The inexorable development of the age pyramid and the quick pace of technological change has brought work and age together as inter-linked areas of study and intervention.; This text introduces current academic thinking on work and age and describes ways in which working methods, the organization of work, and innovative programmes (such as tailored training) can be introduced to reflect more accurately an intrinsic part of human life: ageing. The book encompassing physiological, psychological and social factors. The object is to define clearly diverse aspects involved in the passing of time - ageing, generational effects, experience and other marks of time. Their combined effects reveal different signs of ageing on behaviour as well as on strategies to contend with professional requirements at different stages in life.; The style of this text makes it accessible to a non-specialist public but also opens avenues for those who wish to delve deeper into the matter to discover the state-of-the-art questions and issues being addressed in international work and age research.

Book excerpt: In the past few years the topic of work and ageing has received much public and professional interest. The progressive "greying" of the population and its impact on work is a problem of widespread and growing concern, with major consequences for the economy in terms of productivity, performance, health care, work design and entry opportunities; and for the individual older worker. A European Symposium on Work and Ageing was held in Amsterdam in 1993. It was intended not only for a forum of scientists but also for practitioners and policy-makers who are actually involved in this growing field of social interest.; "Work and Aging", a multi-disciplinary book derives, in part, from this symposium, but also includes especially invited contribributions from experts in occupational health and safety, organizational psychology, cognitive science, and ergonomics.; Throughout the diverse chapters, incentives are suggested on how and why an organization could benefit from the asset of an ageing worker. Training programmes for human resource management, with respect to the elderly and disabled worker in particular, are offered in order to deal effectively with vocational rehabilitation.

This book was released on 2014-09-26 with total page 530 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ethnicity and religious confession are concepts around which discussion and controversy arise, generating emotions and feelings of extreme intensity. Each of us belongs to such a community. By default, there is pressure on us to be subjective. Intercultural dialogue can be successfully provided where a community that is aware of the Other comes to communicate, cooperate and build the structure of a multicultural society. Diversity throughout Central and South-Eastern Europe can lead to either cooperation or conflict. Presently, we face discrimination, marginalization, low-status minorities, peripheral societies and the inequitable distribution of resources that leads to unequal distribution of authority and power.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Health and Ritual in Morocco, Josep Lluis Mateo Dieste analyzes the many notions of the body that appear in various Moroccan medical and religious systems. Viewing these issues from anthropological and historical perspectives to the development of Islamic medicine in Morocco, this study highlights the elements of power that define these representations and practices. Mateo Dieste shows that most of the healing rituals challenge the strict division between physical and mental afflictions. Health and Ritual in Morocco provides a valuable structure for understanding Moroccan conceptions of the person, rites of passage, gender differences, and reproductive practices. It offers insights into the weight of the notions of impurity and purification of the body in the daily life of the contemporary Moroccan population.

Download or read book Framing Age written by Iris Loffeier and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2017-05-12 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ageing populations have gradually become a major concern in many industrialised countries over the past fifty years, drawing the attention of both politics and science. The target of a raft of health and social policies, older people are often identified as a specific, and vulnerable, population. At the same time, ageing has become a specialisation in many disciplines - medicine, sociology, psychology, to name but three – and a discipline of its own: gerontology. This book questions the framing of old age by focusing on the relationships between policy making and the production of knowledge. The first part explores how the meeting of scientific expertise and the politics of old age anchors the construction of both individual and collective relationships to the future. Part II brings to light the many ways in which issues relating to ageing can be instrumentalised and ideologised in several public debate arenas. Part III argues that scientific knowledge itself composes with objectivity, bringing ideologies of its own to the table, and looks at how this impacts discourse about ageing. In the final part, the contributors discuss how the frames can themselves be experienced at different levels of the division of labour, whether it is by people who work on them (legislators or scientists), by people working with them (professional carers) or by older people themselves. Unpacking the political and moral dimensions of scientific research on ageing, this cutting-edge volume brings together a range of multidisciplinary, European perspectives, and will be of use to all those interested in old age and the social sciences.
