Exploring Social Protection Arrangements for Older People

The book "Exploring Social Protection Arrangements for Older People" offers a comprehensive analysis of social protection options for older individuals. It examines both formal and informal social protection arrangements and their potential to enhance the well-being of older people. The author, Daniel Doh, argues that traditional family support, particularly in Africa, remains the best foundation for protecting older individuals, despite modernization and social changes having affected its effectiveness. The book advocates for collaboration between state and non-state actors to strengthen the traditional family system as well as other community structures such as religious groups and traditional leaderships to create better protection options for older people.
