About the Book

The book Gerontological Social Work in India Some Issues and Perspectives contains selected papers presented at a National Seminar on "Globalisation and Ageing Implications for Gerontological Social Work", organised by the Tata Institute of Social Sciences and Family Welfare Agency during December 22-24, 1997. The book is divided into three parts, Part I contains papers which examine the changing situation of the ageing with reference to globalisation and the role of the United Nations to better their situation and discuss the emerging issues of financial and social security, health, built environment and abuse and neglect. The papers in Part II draw implications from the situations and issues of ageing, document experiences of and discuss recommendations for, gerontological social work. Part III presents a specially prepared classified bibliography on social gerontology in India. In 1999, the United Nations observed the International Year of Older Persons In this context, the book is indeed timely and is a valuable addition on the subject which will be of interest to all social scientists.
