What are the long term effects of retirement on family
relationships? Do personality characteristics or attitudes of one
spouse impinge on the other spouse's retirement plans and
adjustment? What differences exist in the ways males and females
adapt to retirement? Leading researchers in the fields of family
studies and gerontology present enlightening information on the
impact of retirement on family relations. Original essays focus on
gender and ethnic differences, the role of children, siblings, and
significant others, and the multiple changes retirement creates in
marriage. In addition, a variety of theoretical models, existing
research, and methodological problems in studying retired families
are explored. Families and Retirement is essential reading for
graduate students, researchers, and professionals in gerontology,
sociology, social work, family psychology, and policy studies.
"This is a well-written book. The editors have done a great job in
selecting chapter authors whose research is important and directly
related to the focus of the book. . . . The book will be an
excellent text for sociology classes focusing mainly on retirement.
It will also serve well as a supplemental text in gerontology,
family studies, economics, and other college and university courses
wherein retirement is studied." --Journal of Marriage and the
Family "Just when it seems too complex a task to produce a text
that addresses retirement from the perspective of the family, a new
work appears that does just that. . . . The editors have
successfully expanded [the] traditional concern with the individual
by choosing studies showing relationships and issues on aspects of
retirement and family." --Family Relations
