Journal of Aging and Social Policy

Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

This journal explores the multifaceted challenges and policies related to aging populations. It examines issues such as homelessness among older adults, demographic and health sorting in care facilities, healthcare access influenced by social determinants, the role of urban green spaces in healthy aging, and the experiences of caregiver-employees. The journal also addresses financial capacity and management in later life, the provision of long-term care, the impact of public insurance programs on family caregiving, and workforce issues in long-term care settings. Additionally, it investigates the perspectives on improving care for older people, the experiences of migrant caregivers, the effectiveness of old-age subsidies, access to paid leave for older workers, and the market-level effects of long-term care insurance. The scope extends to generational diversities in elder care preferences, challenges faced by older adults in low- and middle-income countries, the use of flexible retirement schemes, financial inclusion of older adults, mental health in older populations, and the impact of migration on caregiving. Finally, it considers age-friendly city initiatives and the financial well-being of home care aides, as well as the digital divide among vulnerable older adults.
