At the beginning of the 1980s, the previous few decades had been characterised by a 'population explosion' amongst the older age groups. Due to the success of medical science at prolonging life, this phenomenon had been experienced throughout both the developing and the developed world. Given the acute economic difficulties faced by the countries concerned, it was apparent that the allocation of resources, in terms of cash and care, would have to concentrate on the oldest and frailest members of the community. Originally published in 1981, this book presented an important contribution toward the necessity for a multidisciplinary, international approach to both public policy-making and practice at the time. The continued social functioning of the ageing community as a whole was dependent upon a combination of social and health care services together with adequate income maintenance provision, suitable housing and transport services to enable the majority to function as autonomous individuals. Drawing on experience from many countries, this unique volume brings together the extensive knowledge of practitioners in politics, social administration and care services with scholars who were now beginning to recognise the importance of ageing as a key issue upon which the social well-being of society as a whole depends.
