The global age-friendly community (AFC) movement calls for multi-sectoral engagement in a multi-year model encompassing four core phases (engage, plan, act, measure) to improve livability in domains of community life pertaining to the built, social, and service environment. However, there is limited empirical knowledge regarding the involvement of higher education and how it supports AFC efforts. We used qualitative inquiry to assess the engagement of U.S. institutions as reported by 80 AFCs that completed a five-year cycle of participation. We conducted directed content analysis using paired AFC action plans and progress reports (n = 56) and classified engagement using a priori indicators by higher educational core activities (teaching, research, and service), core phases (e.g. measure), and clustered domain areas (e.g. built environment). Results reveal engagement across all core activities of higher education with most efforts in research, in all areas of the AFC model with most reported in the action phase, and across all clustered domains of practice with the greatest amount identified in the social environment. We identify opportunities for greater engagement and leadership through higher education in our age-friendly world.","PeriodicalId":47121,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Aging & Social Policy","volume":" ","pages":"1-17"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2024-08-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142082131","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A major question about extending working age, or working after retirement, is whether it is a matter of choice, taking control of one's later life, or is coerced, part of entering the precariat. This study provides a nuanced examination of the social processes that direct labor market participation among older workers by conducting an analysis of in-depth interviews with 42 low-income older workers in Israel. The study exposed several institutional constraints that increase their economic vulnerability, demonstrating how interrelated structural factors related to the labor market, gender, and immigration shape the precarity of the life of older workers and coerce their continuous labor market participation. We conclude by emphasizing the responsibility of governments to ensure that older workers' labor market participation truly represents their \"choice and control,\" rather than being a matter of coercion.","PeriodicalId":47121,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Aging & Social Policy","volume":" ","pages":"1-21"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2024-08-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142037336","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This article is based on the 2011-2018 China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS) and uses China's LTCI pilot program as a quasi-experiment to examine the impact of LTCI on older adults' care patterns in China. It employs a staggered difference-in-differences (staggered DID) methodology to model the economic support, living arrangements and care, and spiritual comfort provided to older adults. Results indicate that LTCI significantly enhances the economic and emotional independence of older adults. On the one hand, LTCI effectively decreases the economic and emotional dependence of older adults on their children. On the other hand, LTCI raises the likelihood that older adults rely on social institutions and personnel for care. Additionally, LTCI is associated with achieving higher life satisfaction. Interestingly, the impact of LTCI varies significantly across sub-samples of different types of older adults and different policy regulations. Overall, findings indicate that LTCI shifts older adults' care patterns from family to socialized care, thereby reducing children's caregiving burden.","PeriodicalId":47121,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Aging & Social Policy","volume":" ","pages":"1-20"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2024-08-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142037337","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It requires an interdisciplinary perspective and different forms of innovation. This article provides a commentary on the role of innovation policy in addressing healthy aging, particularly in the UK context. We argue that the wide range of economic activities related to healthy aging is part of a hybrid domain rather than a single sector. This represents a new generation of innovation policy for healthy aging which prioritizes understanding how different actors can be connected to support a spectrum of types of innovation which will contribute to providing better goods, services, and practices for older people. We explore social innovation as it relates to hybrid domains such as healthy aging and discuss the role of place in creating policy which generates both societal and market value. We recommend that policymakers use these concepts to build a better understanding of the economies that are evolving around healthy aging and where opportunities exist to better conceptualize, connect, and support actors, initiatives, and places to optimize economic potential and social outcomes.","PeriodicalId":47121,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Aging & Social Policy","volume":" ","pages":"1-16"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2024-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141861283","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We quantified employed adult child caregivers' absenteeism; its association with PWSDs' functional impairment and health shocks; and characteristics of caregivers not experiencing absenteeism in the presence of PWSDs' health shocks and high functional impairment. We used a prospective cohort of 111 employed adult child caregivers of community-dwelling PWSDs in Singapore surveyed every 4 months for 1 year. We calculated absenteeism days due to caregiving and the corresponding absenteeism cost. Findings showed that 43% of the caregivers experienced absenteeism due to caregiving at least once during 1 year. On average, in a month, caregivers experienced 2.3 (SD = 5.9) absenteeism days and S$758 (SD = 2120) absenteeism cost. Those caring for PWSDs with high functional impairment experienced an additional 2.5 absenteeism days and S$788 absenteeism cost versus caregivers of PWSDs with low functional impairment. Caregivers whose PWSDs experienced a health shock experienced an additional 1.8 absenteeism days and S$772 absenteeism cost versus caregivers of PWSDs without a health shock. Co-residence with PWSDs worsened the impact of PSWDs' high functional impairment on caregivers absenteeism. Caregivers not co-residing with PWSDs and not using a maladaptive coping style were less likely to experience absenteeism when caring for PWSDs with a health shock. Results suggest a need to support caregivers of PWSDs to better cope with their caregiving in order to mitigate caregivers' absenteeism.","PeriodicalId":47121,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Aging & Social Policy","volume":" ","pages":"603-620"},"PeriodicalIF":5.1,"publicationDate":"2024-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"9251419","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study examines the prevalence of formal healthcare utilization and associated factors among older adults with low income and health insurance subscription enrolled in a social intervention program (known as the Livelihood Empowerment Against Poverty [LEAP] program) in Ghana. Cross-sectional data were obtained from an Aging, Health, Lifestyle and Health Services Survey conducted in 2018 among 200 older adults aged 65 years and above enrolled in the LEAP program. The results showed that almost 9 in 10 (87%) older adults utilized formal healthcare services for their health problems. Older adults who received family support, rated themselves to be physically active and had non-communicable diseases (NCDs) were more significantly likely to utilise formal health care services than their counter parts.

The Caregiver Advise, Record, Enable (CARE) Act, passed in over 40 US states, is intended to provide family caregivers of hospitalized patients with the knowledge and skills needed for safe and efficient transitions. It has broken important ground for family caregivers who assist with transitions in patient care. It may fall short, however, in addressing the unique needs of family caregivers living in rural and underserved areas. We contend that to realize the intended safety, cost, and care quality benefits of the CARE Act, especially for those living in rural and underserved areas, states need to expand the Act's scope. We provide three recommendations: 1) modify hospital information systems to support the care provided by family caregivers; 2) require assessments of family caregivers that reflect the challenges of family caregiving in rural and underserved areas; and 3) identify local resources to improve discharge planning. We describe the rationale for each recommendation and the potential ways that an expanded CARE Act could reduce the risks associated with transitions in care for aging patients.","PeriodicalId":47121,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Aging & Social Policy","volume":" ","pages":"581-588"},"PeriodicalIF":5.1,"publicationDate":"2024-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9374844/pdf/nihms-1776473.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"9983397","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
