This book examines the impact of the pandemic on the older population and how gerontological social workers can effectively intervene to ensure a more equitable approach to service delivery. It details the various ways COVID-19 has touched the lives of older adults and their caregivers across diverse countries including Italy, China, Nigeria, and the United States. Readers of this book can expect comprehensive attention to pandemic issues in an international gerontological social work context.

This edited collection will greatly interest students, academics and researchers in the humanities and social sciences with an interest in the sociology of aging and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of Journal of Gerontological Social Work.
