With socio-economic and demographic changes taking place in
contemporary societies, new patterns of family relations are
forming partly due to significant family changes, value shifts,
precariousness in the labour market, and increasing mobility within
and beyond national boundaries. This book explores the exchange of
support between generations and examines variations in contemporary
practices and rationales in different regions and societies. It
draws on both theoretical perspectives and empirical analysis in
relation to new patterns of family reciprocity. Contributors
discuss both newly emerging patterns and more established ones
which are now being affected due to various opportunities and
pressures in contemporary societies. The book is split into two
parts, the first (Chapters one to four) reviews key theoretical and
conceptual debates in this field, while the second (Chapter five to
nine) offers insights and an understanding of exchange practices
based on case studies from different regions and different
relationships.
