Soziale Gerontologie in gesellschaftlicher Verantwortung

The terrifying scenario of an aging society has dominated public debate until recently. Now, the tide has turned. Demographic change is increasingly seen not just as a risk, but also as an opportunity. This volume discusses the challenges of an aging society and their socio-political handling from an interdisciplinary and international perspective. The range of topics includes social risks in old age, age management in municipalities and companies, health promotion, and the further development of long-term care insurance and new care communities beyond the family.
