About this book
Reviews
"A fascinating read for anyone interested in how seemingly very different societies (Japan and Norway) organize their services for older people. From this a good deal can be learnt." - Gerdt Sundstrom, Professor Emeritus in Gerontology, Jönköping University, Sweden, and consultant with The Swedish Federation of Retired Persons
