This book analyzes the family and residential trajectories of men
and women across the twentieth century, which are placed in a
long-term generational perspective and in the historical context
where they played out. It brings together a set of studies based on
data from the Biographies et Entourage (Life Event Histories and
Entourage) survey conducted by the Institut National d'Etudes
Demographiques (INED) on a representative sample of nearly 3,000
residents of the Paris region born between 1930 and 1950. Inside,
readers will discover an insightful analysis of the family that
moves away from such traditional concepts as the household or main
residence and proposes new ones like the entourage and the
residential system. This innovative approach to the family network
describes an affective and residential proximity that takes into
account the relatives and close friends who have played or continue
to play a role in an individual's life. The book first presents a
detailed analysis of the Biographies et Entourage survey
respondents' parental universe and proposes a practical approach to
the notion of parenthood that reveals the family and non-family
resources available to individuals. Next, it describes the
evolution of the respondents' family networks, both in and beyond
the household, and details how these family circles shape their
subjective judgments during childhood, adolescence, and adult life.
Coverage then goes on to examine the family ties of older adults,
the role of grandparents and step-families, the importance of
family spaces including often frequented places, and
inter-generational family solidarity. Families extend well beyond
the walls of the home. Interpersonal relations are constructed
throughout the life course and in all the settings where they play
out. This book takes this new family reality into account and
traces its dynamics across time and space. It provides essential
tools for researchers looking to conduct life event history surveys
and to develop innovative areas of research in the social sciences.
