Philosophy
This week’s discussion activity involves learning about another country’s support for its senior citizens and how it compares to the services available here in the United States. This issue is relevant for this chapter because a large element of retirement involves some kind of government-provided financial support for older adults.
What are the similarities and differences between the United States and these other countries?
Based on differences in available supports and services, how would you expect the life of a senior citizen in one of these other countries to be different from the life of a senior citizen in the United States?
