Programs that Affect Intergenerational Solidarity

Chapter Chapter Six in Intergenerational Solidarity, 2010, pp 113-127 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Worldwide, extremely low rates of medical, nursing, social work, and therapy students graduate planning to focus on a geriatric population (Fajemilehin, 2004; Schigelone and Ingersoll-Dayton, 2004). With older adults currently constituting 13 percent of the older American population, and expected to represent up to 20 percent in less than 50 years (He and others, 2005), and with rapid growth in aging populations globally, the need for geriatric health and human services workers will quickly outstrip their availability.
