Abstract:
Despite a variety of differences in size, location, population characteristics, social organization, and cultural values and traditions, South Korea and the United States face dramatic increases in the numbers and proportions of older adults. Population aging raises profound questions about current and future eldercare arrangements in both countries. This article compares eldercare in the informal system of family caregiving and the formal system of government policies and public and private services in the United States and South Korea.

Abstract:
Slavery has always been condemned across the world; however in the end of the XX century, such canonical concept was rectified based on the extensive examination by American scholars of compilation of narratives of the former slaves collected in 1930s in the United States. At that time, 2,300 former slaves from 17 states were interviewed about their life in the era of slavery. Later, these interviews were placed in open access on the website of the Library of US Congress, reconstructing a contradictory picture of everyday life of African-Americans in the conditions of plantation economy: some

Introduction: Socioeconomic status (SES) indicators are among the main social determinants of health and illness. Less, however, is known about the role of SES in the epidemiology of polypharmacy in immigrant Latino Americans living in the United States. This research studied the association between three SES indicators, education, income, and employment, and polypharmacy in older first generation Latino American immigrant adults.

Abstract Background Older adults frequently seek emergency department care, with 45 visits for every 100 older adults. Many health events in later stages of life can be attributed to health conditions and behaviors during middle-age. Yet, while qualitative and quantitative analyses exist, documenting the reasons for emergency department visits among all comers, no study focuses specifically on the determinants of hospitalization among middle-aged and older adults using the emergency department. Additionally, the impact on longer-term outcomes starting in mid-life remains unknown. Objectives To

Abstract An increasing number of African and Afro-Caribbean immigrants to the United States and Canada are aging. Older adults are dealing with various health conditions, which makes them increasingly dependent on family members and friends for their health and social needs. The assistance they receive includes help with physical care, transportation, medication assistance, and emotional and social support, amongst others. Caregivers play a pivotal role in maintaining the health of older adults of African and Afro-Caribbean immigrants in the United States and Canada. However, very little is un

Abstract:
This article explores the labor market status of older males in the early twentieth century, focusing on how the extent of pressure toward retirement differed across occupations and how it changed over time. A comparison of the probability of retirement across occupations shows that men who had better occupations in terms of economic status and work conditions were less likely to retire than were those with poorer jobs. The difficulty faced by older workers in the labor market, as measured by the relative incidence of long-term unemployment, was relatively severe among craftsmen, operatives, a

Abstract:
During the antebellum period of U.S. slavery (1830-1861), many people claimed ownership of the enslaved woman's body, both legally and figuratively. The assumption that they were merely property, however, belies the unstable, shifting truths about bodily ownership. This thesis inquires into the gendered specifics and ambiguities of the law, the body, and women under slavery. By examining the particular bodily regulation and exploitation of enslaved women, especially around their reproductive labor, I suggest that new operations of oppression and also of resistance come into focus.

Racial slavery was a critical element in the cultural development of the Choctaws and was a derivative of the peculiar institution in southern states. The idea of genial and hospitable slave owners can no more be conclusively demonstrated for the Choctaws than for the antebellum South. The participation of Choctaws in the Civil War and formal alliance with the Confederacy was dominantly influenced by the slaveholding and a connection with southern identity, but was also influenced by financial concerns and an inability to remain neutral than a protection of the peculiar institution.

Specifically, when men retire they are likely to have a younger, possibly healthier spouse who may still be working. Women, on the other hand, are likely to outlive their husbands, he

Housing concerns and homelessness are more easily recognized in urban areas; the social problems they cause for rural communities are less well known. The availability of quality, affordable housing is crucial to individuals and families on limited incomes. Without affordable housing, the cost of housing consumes so much income that other basic human needs may have to go unmet.

As there are many kinds of demographic characteristics of households, there are also many types of housing, and many housing submarkets.

Background: Since the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic in January 2020, elderly populations aged 65+ have been deemed at-risk for severe symptoms and poor prognosis. Because it is important to protect this vulnerable population, policies such as social distancing and shelter-in-place orders have been implemented in the United States in order to prevent the spread of Covid-19. However, many older citizens may live alone or may not have access to technology, and therefore may be limited in their ability to maintain important relationships and social interactions throughout shelter-in-place ord
