Population aging in Asia has been testing and shaping societal capacities, welfare resources and sustainability of intergenerational support. Based on the theoretical framework of productive aging (focusing on older adults’ labor participation, caregiving, volunteering and other social activities), Pei-Chun Ko and Wei-Jun Jean Yeung edited special journal issue- Contextualizing Productive Aging in Asia in Social Science & Medicine. It has 19 empirical papers across Asian societies to address the determinants and health implications of productive engagement among older adults.
