"This interdisciplinary book presents timely contributions to the debate on population ageing in the region from the perspectives of demography, economics, sociology, anthropology, public health, psychology and epidemiology. In line with its focus on finances, the authors stress the potential to transform the image of the older person from 'liability' to 'asset'. The editors are to be congratulated for projecting the ageing issue onto an ASEAN development platform. The data and case studies presented in the book will be of interest to scholars in population studies and development economics, but also to non-specialists and policy makers interested in ageing and population dynamics in the region" (Bulletin of Indonesian Economic Studies).
