Social Policy for an Aging Society : A Human Rights Perspective, Paperback by Cox, Carole B., ., ISBN 0826196535, ISBN-13 9780826196538, Brand New, Free shipping in the US Emphasizing the perspective that the challenges associated with aging are opportunities for developing policies based on human rights rather than policies for meeting needs (which discriminate against older adults), this book applies a human rights framework to issues and concerns facing older adults in the US and the policies to deal with them. It outlines the background on social policy and human rights and how they impact older adults; the Older Americans Act; policy related to economic supports, independence and autonomy, physical and mental well-being, employment and the workplace, retirement, the family, and vulnerable populations like women, minorities, immigrants, and the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender community; how different countries around the world are developing policies and how these reflect human rights; and future policy challenges.
