This book explores the intersecting issues relating the phenomenon
of ageing to gender and family law. The latter has tended to focus
mainly on family life in young and middle age; and, indeed, the
issues of childhood and parenting are key in many family law texts.
Family life for older members has, then, been largely neglected;
addressing this neglect, the current volume explores how the issues
which might be important for younger people are not necessarily the
same as those for older people. The significance of family, the
nature of family life, and the understanding of self in terms of
one's relationships, tend to change over the life course. For
example, the state may play an increasing role in the lives of
older people - as access to services, involvement in work and the
community, the ability to live independently, and to form or
maintain caring relationships, are all impacted by law and policy.
This collection therefore challenges the standard models of family
life and family law that have been developed within a
child/parent-centred paradigm, and which may require rethinking in
the turn to family life in old age. Interdisciplinary in its scope
and orientation, this book will appeal not just to academic family
lawyers and students interested in issues around family law,
ageing, gender, and care; but also to sociologists and ethicists
working in these areas.
