| Annotation | Intergenerational programmes (IPs) are "vehicles for the purposeful and ongoing exchange of resources and learning among older and younger generations for individual and social benefits". This monograph is the result of a collaboration sponsored by UNESCO. It seeks to develop the debate on the potential of promoting relationships and interchange between the young and old as an integral part of social public policy. It describes from the perspectives of differing national experiences why such an approach is considered essential. Country reports (on China, Cuba, Germany, Japan, the Netherlands, Palestine, South Africa, Sweden, the UK, and the US) help us to understand the historical and cultural roots of intergenerational thinking and practices within different cultures. These reports are prefaced by an international perspective, in which the researchers make recommendations on four areas where IP can affect public policy: economy and employment; society; lifelong learning; and health.
