| Annotation | In the US, devolution concerns the decentralizing of service provision. This collection of articles attempts to demonstrate some of the possibilities and opportunities that devolution of services can present. The five sections illustrate distinctly different forms of devolution, and the roles that the public sector, state government, local government and the private sector play with regard to the needs of an ageing population. Facets of devolution that are covered include: Medicaid-financed long-term care; state sponsorship of services in retirement communities; the implications of the Workforce Investment Act for the access of older workers to training to upgrade their work skills; the Alzheimer's Disease Demonstration Grants to States (ADDGS) programme; a tax credits programme; and a consumer cooperative association specialising in services for older people. This issue of the Journal of Aging & Social Policy is simultaneously being published by the Haworth Press as a monographic "separate". (KJ/RH). |
