tailieunhanh - Measures for social inclusion of the elderly: The case of volunteering

“Housing Our Elders” (1999) uses a supplement to the 1995 AHS on home accessibility needs and modifications to develop a baseline of information on elderly housing conditions, needs, and strategies. It is found that “overall, older Americans are among the best housed citizens of a well-housed Nation”. However, “millions of elderly households continue to live in housing that costs too much, is in substandard condition, or fails to accommodate their physical capabilities or assistance needs”. The report then outlines the Administration’s Housing Security Plan for Older Americans, a framework for national action that meets seniors’ most. | Eurofound Measures for social inclusion of the elderly The case of volunteering Working paper Click for contents Wyattville Road Loughlinstown Dublin 18 Ireland. - Tel 353 1 204 31 00 - Fax 282 42 09 282 64 56 email postmaster@ - website Authors Gerhard Naegele and Eckart Schnabel with the contribution of Jan Willem van de Maat Netherlands Pawel Kubicki Poland Carlos Chiatti Italy and Tine Rostgaard Denmark Contents 1.
