Über das Buch:
Older people in Tanzania are disadvantaged and marginalized in many ways. They lack adequate formal social protection. They also suffer from diminishing family and community support. They face a series of multi-faceted problems and care for most AIDS-orphans, yet they are a much neglected target group in national social policy and international development programs.
This book provides a theoretical discussion of ageing issues and their linkage to social protection. It depicts various policy frameworks at international, Pan- African and national level. And it provides extensive empirical findings on older people’s living conditions.
“We hope that this book will inform and inspire scholars, students, practitioners and policy-makers on the importance of the role older people play in society. The way we deal with the older generation indicates the degree of our humanity.”
(Helmut Spitzer & Zena Mnasi Mabeyo)
