title: Aging in Ghana.
abstract: The growing dilemma of caring for the elderly is truly a global problem, as evidenced by the aging issues in countries such as Ghana. Like many countries, Ghana faces the breakdown of traditional families, which in turn affects the tradition of family members taking responsibility for informal care of the elderly.
