To Prepare:
Select a country identified as a “developing country,” and consider the various resources, programs, and services available to support people as they age within that country.
BY DAY 3
Post by Day 3 the name of the country you selected and a brief summary of the resources, programs, and services available there for older adults. Explain the roles of government, society, and family in stabilizing any of these resources. Finally, explain who you think is ultimately responsible for supporting people as they age, supporting your argument with references to the literature.
