This study investigates whether community care policy and service delivery is rhetoric or reality. The social policy and under-pinning ideologies that surround community care are reviewed. The qualitative research gives detailed descriptions of everyday life, including the concerns of economic and political influences. From the data the concept of economic fragility was developed. Similar patterns of experience emerged for some groups of respondents, these included connections with pervasive economics, gender and the semiotic of language. Further analysis highlighted conceptual connections at both a micro and macro theoretical level. This includes marginalization processes for certain groups of older people into becoming problem populations. Identification of a predictable career path for the Economically Fragile takes place. This culminates in personal experimential journeys through the Social Incarceration Spiral. Theoretical considerations are explored and some alternative policy proposals are made. Finally, it is argued that Community Care as an ideology, current policy and service, as propounded by the current Government, is seriously flawed.

Providing a concise review of the demographic context underpinning the development of community care for older people, and a critical review of community care in post-war Britain, this textbook discuss the current data and research regarding service provision and the costs and effectiveness of such services. The author integrates available data about the use of different types of service, and considers the implications of the 1993 policy and demographic change on the provision of community care in the future, comparing data relating to Britain with that of other developed countries, especially in Europe.

The real-life Nickel and Dimed—the author of the wildly popular “Poverty Thoughts” essay tells what it’s like to be working poor in America. ONE OF THE FIVE MOST IMPORTANT BOOKS OF THE YEAR--Esquire “DEVASTATINGLY SMART AND FUNNY. I am the author of Nickel and Dimed, which tells the story of my own brief attempt, as a semi-undercover journalist, to survive on low-wage retail and service jobs. TIRADO IS THE REAL THING.”—Barbara Ehrenreich, from the Foreword As the haves and have-nots grow more separate and unequal in America, the working poor don’t get heard from much. Now they have a voice—and it’s forthright, funny, and just a little bit furious. Here, Linda Tirado tells what it’s like, day after day, to work, eat, shop, raise kids, and keep a roof over your head without enough money. She also answers questions often asked about those who live on or near minimum wage: Why don’t they get better jobs? Why don’t they make better choices? Why do they smoke cigarettes and have ugly lawns? Why don’t they borrow from their parents? Enlightening and entertaining, Hand to Mouth opens up a new and much-needed dialogue between the people who just don’t have it and the people who just don’t get it.

In sub-Saharan Africa, older people make up a relatively small fraction of the total population and are supported primarily by family and other kinship networks. They have traditionally been viewed as repositories of information and wisdom, and are critical pillars of the community but as the HIV/AIDS pandemic destroys family systems, the elderly increasingly have to deal with the loss of their own support while absorbing the additional responsibilities of caring for their orphaned grandchildren. Aging in Sub-Saharan Africa explores ways to promote U.S. research interests and to augment the sub-Saharan governments' capacity to address the many challenges posed by population aging. Five major themes are explored in the book such as the need for a basic definition of "older person," the need for national governments to invest more in basic research and the coordination of data collection across countries, and the need for improved dialogue between local researchers and policy makers. This book makes three major recommendations: 1) the development of a research agenda 2) enhancing research opportunity and implementation and 3) the translation of research findings.
