Overview
Families throughout the world are experiencing unprecedented changes in their domestic and employment responsibilities, namely, more women work than ever before, and more elders are in need of care from their family members.This book examines how eleven geographically dispersed countries in various stages of economic and social development are responding to the work-elder care dilemma: Sweden, Germany, Canada, the United States, Great Britain, Japan, Israel, Mexico, Brazil, China and Uganda. The book raises awareness of the full range of options for addressing the work-elder care challenge, and increases appreciation of the factors influencing the selection of specific options.
