    AbstractThe Dominican Republic needed to assess its aging population to develop an understanding of its needs and expand opportunities for integrating the elderly into society. The two articles included here offer a perspective on how this small nation undertook such a task. First, a Kansas State University study found the country's elderly poor, hungry, and uninvolved. Under a new national strategy, which redefines the aged as an asset rather than a liability, the country is working to coordinate efforts of diverse organizations to include the aged in their projects--no small feat in a developing country.
