| Annotation | In the US, devolution concerns the decentralizing of service provision. This collection of papers 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 private sector play with regard to the needs of an ageing population. Facets of devolution 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 volume has been simultaneously published as Journal of Aging & Social Policy, vol 14, no 3/4. (KJ/RH). |
