Reviews

'While the sandwich generation is not a new term, this volume brings a fresh perspective and new data to an increasingly important topic. By showing that multigenerational caregiving is now a global and cross-cultural phenomenon - significantly impacted by the worldwide aging of the population and the financial insecurity of the younger generation - Burke and Calvano draw our attention to the complexities involved. They effectively demonstrate that these issues impact not only families, but also workplaces and governments, and that all three groups must work collaboratively to address the challenges of caring for the most vulnerable in our society. This book is a must read for caregivers, business leaders, and policy makers!' -- Ann Bookman, University of Massachusetts Boston, US
