In this study, Tout takes the first in-depth look at this phenomenon and proposes a new approach to the special needs of the elderly in developing countries. Describing successful national programs already in place for the elderly, he highlights lesser-known difficulties, such as the responsibilities grandmothers may have to assume in the face of heterosexually-transmitted AIDS, and the consequences of the disintegration of the traditional extended family in countries too poor to provide pension schemes.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"OUP Oxford","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46893839581335,"sku":"9780198272762","price":4217.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780198272762.webp?v=1770319299","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/aging-in-developing-countries-9780198272762","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
