{"product_id":"aging-in-developing-countries-ken-tout-9780198272762","title":"Aging in Developing Countries","description":"The increasing life expectancy seen in developing countries has coincided with massive migrations due to urbanization, industrialization, and disasters, both natural and man-made, to cause acute physical and psychological suffering for many old people and their dependents. In this study, Tout takes the first in-depth look at this phenomenon and proposes a new approach to the special needs of the elderly in developing countries. Describing successful national programs already in place for the elderly, he highlights lesser-known difficulties, such as the responsibilities grandmothers may have to assume in the face of heterosexually-transmitted AIDS, and the consequences of the disintegration of the traditional extended family in countries too poor to provide pension schemes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ken Tout\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0198272766\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780198272762\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e OUP Oxford\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/13\/1989\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 350\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.98lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.79d","brand":"Ken Tout","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47001082855679,"sku":"9780198272762","price":35.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_04bee19e-e611-4087-a4d6-306e84687a51.jpg?v=1751600013","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/aging-in-developing-countries-ken-tout-9780198272762","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
