The abuse of older people in health and social care facilities is increasingly recognized as a serious problem, but most scandals about or inquiries into the abuse of elders fail to address much less challenge the social, economic, and cultural contexts in which such abuse is allowed to take place.

The Ages of Life: Living and Aging in Conflict?
ISBN: 9783837622126 / Angielski / Miękka / 200 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

Older Workers in an Ageing Society: Critical Topics in Research and Policy
ISBN: 9781782540090 / Angielski / Twarda / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

Yet the recent history of older workers has primarily been one of premature exit from the labour force in the form of redundancy or early retirement. Add to this a previously plentiful supply of younger labour and it is clear that much of industry will be unprepared for the challenges of...
