The process of rapid population aging that is occurring in Namibia and Zimbabwe is examined. "Our overall purpose is to identify the socio-economic conditions of the elderly, focusing particularly on the poor, with the goal of developing strategies that will meet their needs now and in the future." The contrast between a country such as Namibia, which has a national pension scheme, and one such as Zimbabwe, which does not, is noted. | |
