This book was released on 2002-03-08 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tres enfoques -de la desigualdad, de la dependencia y de la vulnerabilidad- se usan para analizar la vejez en tanto su condición de fenómeno social complejo; todos ellos reconocen el sustrato fisiológico de la ancianidad, pero dan mayor importancia a los factores socioculturales para explicar el papel de las personas de edad en las comunidades y las familias para investigar sobre sus condiciones y su calidad de vida. Se plantean las potencialidades y debilidades de nociones como calidad y estilos de vida para capturar las diferentes facetas de la vida social de la tercera edad. Se pasa revista y se precisan tendencias estilizadas en algunos ámbitos en los que la vulnerabilidad de las personas mayores es aguda, en particular, la salud, el empleo y la seguridad social y se revisan los impactos contemporáneos de reformas recientes del sector público que afectan directa o indirectamente a los adultos mayores.

Book excerpt: "El libro ... tiene su origen en el seminario denominado Seguridad social y protección integral para adultos mayores: desafíos y estrategias en América Latina y experiencia internacionales, convocado por la CEPAL, la Sociedad Alemana de Cooperación Técnica (GTZ), la Organización Internacional del Trabajo (OIT), el Banco Interamericano de Desarrollo (BID) y la Agencia Sueca de Cooperación Internacional para el Desarrollo (ASDI) a finales de 2009, tras el cual la CEPAL y la GTZ se abocaron a la tarea de reunir los aportes a la discusión, idea que encontró amplia acogida por parte de los expositores. Teniendo como contexto algunas experiencias internacionales, a partir de casos nacionales se discute detalladamente sobre la protección social de las personas de edad avanzada en la región, a la luz de nuestros singulares desafíos y de las trayectorias que han tenido en las últimas décadas las reformas de los sistemas de pensiones y otras formas de protección social destinadas al adulto mayor. Como se desprende de su lectura, es este sin duda un ámbito donde quedan asignaturas pendientes para poder encarar la pobreza entre las personas de edad avanzada, salvaguardar la sostenibilidad de los sistemas de seguros previsionales, y labrar y ampliar los instrumentos de la seguridad social que permitan consolidar una protección social integral, universal y solidaria en la vejez." --Prólogo.

Download or read book Environmental Gerontology in Europe and Latin America written by Diego Sánchez-González and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-11-03 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book looks at the relationships between the physical-social environment and the elderly in Europe and Latin America, from the Environmental Gerontology perspective and through geographical and psychosocial approaches. It addresses the main environmental issues of population ageing, based on an understanding of the complex relationships, adjustments and adaptations between different environments (home, residence, public spaces, landscapes, neighbourhoods, urban and rural environment) and the quality of life of the ageing population, associated with residential strategies and other aspects related to health and dependency. The different levels of socio-spatial analysis are also explored: macro (urban and rural environments, regions and landscapes), meso (neighbourhood, public space) and micro (personal, home and institution). New theoretical and methodological approaches are proposed to analyse the attributes and functions of the physical-social environment of the elderly, as well as new ways of living the ageing process. All will have to respond to the challenges of urbanisation, globalisation and climate change in the 21st century. Also, the different experiences and challenges of public planning and management professionals involved with the growing ageing population are presented, and will require greater association and collaboration with the academic and scientific fields of Environmental Gerontology.

Download or read book Palliative Care written by Pereira, Isabel and published by Djusticia. This book was released on 2018-04-16 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report compiles the results of a research project aimed at describing the current palliative care situation in eight Latin American countries. The project’s general objective—to raise awareness and influence public policy around the need to approach palliative care from a human rights perspective—was achieved through rapprochement among professionals from various fields in the region, which in and of itself is a key step forward in terms of bringing together communities that defend patients’ rights with communities that advocate a drug policy embracing a public health focus. We hope that this diagnostic report is useful for professional associations, health professionals, patients’ rights advocates, drug policy reform activists, and decision makers, who can rely on its findings to better integrate palliative care into general health services and to use human rights language to promote public policy reform and guarantee the human rights of those in the Americas who suffer from severe and chronic pain.
