Description
About the Book
The aging of the US population will have major impacts on family life in the twenty-first century. Over three-quarters of all caregiving help to the elderly is given by family and friends. This book brings together research from gerontology, social work, and sociology to summarize what is known about family caregiving in our aging population, exploring the implications for public policy, families, and individual lives.Book Synopsis
