for non-governmental organisations, government institutions and academia, but also stress that all advances that have been done from the South should be recognised in the Global North (Santos, 2016). If you are looking for some studies about ageing in one of the countries selected by the book, this is an excellent start. In fact, it could be a great reference for different audiences. Students from different levels can learn about the distinctions in the context of the Global South and the relevance of considering it. Researchers who are facing an investigation in these countries can find many suggestions of what is needed in this field, which is always useful in generating ideas for new projects. Finally, it could be helpful even to policy makers with professional backgrounds interested in learning more about these cases and thinking how they could create public policies according to their audience. This book manages to propose many current challenges equally important for several countries of the Global South. In particular, the authors acknowledge the heterogeneity in the experiences by cohorts and sub-groups in each case. Also, they make some recommendations in the future as opportunities to better confront the fact that, in the Global South, ‘none of these countries are adequately prepared to address the needs of the older adults’ (p. 181). The challenges and the opportunities have been clearly established by this book; now it is our turn, as readers, to take care of them.
