This volume explores intergenerational practices and their impact
on social sustainability, with an emphasis on developing
programmatic efforts to address profound social challenges such as
underperforming educational and work-related systems, failing
support systems for dependent or vulnerable populations, and
community renewal and regeneration efforts. To this end, the core
argument is to present issues related to age, aging, and
generations, not only as problems, but as catalysts to facilitate
improved quality of life for all generations. For societies to be
sustainable, all generations must coexist at any given time and
across time (non-contemporary generations). Hence, the ultimate
vision presented here is one of intergenerational sustainability as
both a conceptual tool and as a call for action. Intergenerational
pathways are introduced as strategies for improving health and
well-being across the lifespan, strengthening families, improving
under-performing educational and work-related systems, and helping
to build more cohesive, caring communities. Reviewing some of the
historical factors and developments influencing intergenerational
studies, as well as presenting regional case studies and
comparative research, this book presents successful models that may
be applied to everyday multigenerational practices in institutions
such as education, family life, housing, healthcare, employment,
and community development. The result is an accessible resource for
students, academics, policymakers, community leaders, and citizens
concerned with creating opportunities amidst challenging
demographic and social changes.
