| Annotation | The multidisciplinary research programme Social and Economic Dimensions of an Aging Population (SEDAP-II) is concerned with how population ageing will affect Canada's labour force and economy. This issue of the Canadian Journal on Aging considers diverse aspects of caregiving. Four articles consider the future needs of an ageing population by describing the current context of ageing and making future projections. Two articles examine the current context of two diverse groups of care givers: married or never-married sons as carers; and adult children of Japanese Canadians. Two articles address the relationship between home care providers and care recipients. Lastly, two articles describe and evaluate a falls intervention effort for an "at risk" group of older people receiving home care services. (RH). |
