Critical Readings on Ageing in Southeast Asia (2 Vols)

The 21st Century will be both the century of Asia and of ageing. And the two trends will coalesce in Southeast Asia over the coming decades. As the papers in this collection reveal, there is a growing research into the health, family and economics of ageing which will be essential to enable Southeast Asia to adapt to its ageing population.
