The International Handbook on Ageing and Public Policy, edited by Sarah Harper and Kate Hamblin explores the challenges arising from the ageing of populations across the globe for government, policy makers, the private sector and civil society. It examines various national state approaches to welfare provisions for older people, and highlights alternatives based around the voluntary and third-party sector, families and private initiatives.
