Social Security for the Elderly
This book overviews the issue of population ageing in five countries in South Asia and projects the emerging scenarios. With a new field survey, it also documents existing policies and programs on pensions and social security, and examines their fiscal implications for the economy and society.

Islam and the Securitisation of Population Policies
There has been much scholarly debate on the politically disruptive capabilities of Islam and the threats to global security posed by or to Muslim states and societies, but within this dialogue there has been little recognition of the role of population policies in security issues. Katrina Riddell's study focuses specifically on Islam and the securitization of population policies and sustainability. Opening with a discussion of contemporary population discourses and their historical foundations, the book examines how population growth has become an international security issue. The author takes the examples of Pakistan and Iran to provide a nuanced understanding of Muslim states' interaction with global debates on sustainability. She also explores how Muslim and non-Muslim states, societies and agents perceive issues of population growth and control. Providing an innovative approach to the pursuit of global sustainability and security, this book presents useful material to scholars whose research focuses on Islam and the future.

Islamic Teachings and Social Structure
This book corrects the long-standing misconceptions of the masses about the religious beliefs of Islam, and challenges the core social perceptions and deviations from its religious guidelines. It offers the reader an opportunity to learn about the various social dimensions and Islamic views in the light of the Quran and Sunnah. The book will appeal to a diverse readership, and rarely uses terminology which is specific to a certain subject. Where such terms are used and inevitable, these are properly defined and explained in the given context.
