Whether considered from an American or a European perspective, the
past four decades have seen family life become increasingly
complex. Changing Family Dynamics and Demographic Evolution
examines the various stages of change through the image of a
kaleidoscope, providing new insights into the field of family
dynamics and diversity. Contributions from both eminent and
contemporary scholars provide a comprehensive and multidisciplinary
perspective encompassing over five decades and two continents. This
is the kaleidoscope, showing the diversity and complexity of
contemporary families. Each chapter is a new turn with the built in
mirrors reflecting new insights into the colored glass and beads.
Through this analogy, this book explores family transitions in the
US and Europe, gender dimensions of family transitions, children in
new families, intersectional approaches of demographic processes
and policy perspectives as well as offering thoughts on a future
outlook. Unique and accessible, this book will appeal to students
and researchers in a variety of fields including demography, the
sociology of the family, gender studies and family law. It will
also be of value to policy makers for children and families as well
as those involved in family social care. Contributors include: E.
