review 1: a very interesting book about the aging of populations everywhere in the world..the trend will continue to get worsen. Author uses quite a few examples on the generation "gap"...in various countries and taking on the problem of the system in USA..globalization and the speed of technology is pulling family apart not just on income gap, cultural gap, and the age gap..a very good insight on what are going to happen in the next 30 years.
review 2: I liked the comparisons of aging in different countries. I was aware of Japan's aging population, but the chapter on Spain surprised me. I am originally from Rockford, Illinois and appreciated the chapter on this aging dying industrial city. Read this book concurrently with Katherine Newman's The Accordion Family. The... more two books compliment each other about generations and globalization. I recommend both books. less
