AGING IN THE USA
Öz
By the year 2010, In the United States, one out of six (39.4 million) people are projected to be 65 years of age or older, primarily due to the people born post-World War II and increasing longevity, joining the ranks of the aged. In light of this major demographic shift and change of Federal policy position to that of devolution, innovative and effective health and quality of life policies and services for the elderly involving all sectors of the society would have to supplement or replace the ones currently in practice. Social work profession is expected to be even more concerned with the welfare of the elderly. Social work education is responsible to take curricular measures to train social workers for elderly health and quality of life roles within a public-private mix of policy and program packages. Special consideration would need to be given to the challenges of cost-effective health and high quality of life in the design of the curriculum on aging.
