Juxtaposes studies of care for the elderly in several European countries, the USSR, the US, Canada, and Japan. The editors establish a framework for comparison, then show how the differences can be understood through such concepts as equity, uniformity, public accountability, individualism and collectivism, and economies of high and low wages.
