SOC 304 Week 5 - Discussion
Social Policy For Older Americans
Governments
accommodate for the needs of older citizens through social policy and welfare
programs in multiple ways. In this discussion we are going to review key social
policy initiatives in the US and explore whether elder support is the remit of
Government or the social responsibility of families.
·
Explain each of the following and how older American citizens benefit
from them:
o
ADA – Americans with Disabilities Act
o
ADEA – Age Discrimination in Employment Act
o
FMLA – Family Medical Leave Act
o
OAA - Older Americans Act
o
Medicaid
o
Medicare
o
Social Security
·
When looking at the role of Government policies and programs, individual
citizen’s responsibility to financially prepare, and the support system of
family, who holds the social responsibility in the United States for the later
life care of the aging? Or do all three parties have a needed role to play?
Explain and support your perspective with evidence, such as academic research
or Government data.
