| Description: |
This volume brings together an international group of leading scholars from a variety of disciplinary backgrounds to consider the implications of the demographic ageing of western societies on intergenerational relationships and the family. Large data sets from the US, UK, and Europe are drawn on to examine the impact of changing kin structures, intergenerational responsibilities, and the range of contemporary issues currently impacting on familyrelationships. |
| Synopsis: |
Western families are undergoing considerable change. The demographic ageing of societies is increasing the number of living generations, and decreasing the number of living relatives within these generations. These ageing societies are also seeing an ageing of some life- transitions, with individuals choosing to delay full economic independence from parents, formal adult union through marriage or committed long-term cohabitation, and parenting. Such demographic change is occurring within the context of a variety of new kin structures-stepfamilies, ethnic minority families, single-parent families, cohabiting couples. This volume takes an inter-disciplinary research approach to consider the implications of demographic ageing for European and American families. |
