In the 21st century, the populations of the worlda (TM)s nations
will display large and long-lived changes in age structure.
Demography will matter in this century not by force of numbers, but
by the pressures of waves of age structural change.
In rapidly industrializing countries, demographic changes
continue to have significant effects on the well-being of
individuals and families, and as aggregate human and financial
capital. These effects may be analyzed in terms of
inter-generational transfers of time, money, goods, and services.
The chapters in this volume greatly develop our understanding of
the nature and measurement of transfers, their motives and
mechanisms, and their macro-level dimensions, especially in the
context of demographic transitions.
The chapters include original empirical analyses of datasets
from some twenty countries taking the reader beyond the American
context in order to test the applicability of some of the theories
developed on the basis of American data. They extend the
traditional analysis of inter-generational transfers by examining
different types of transfers, namely goods, money, assets, time,
co-residence and visits. Furthermore, the chapters go beyond the
study of traditional parent a" child transfers to examine transfers
to kins and the bi-directionality of transfers.
