First published in 1957, The Family Life of Old People opens with
the question: Are old people isolated from their families?
Thereafter, the author describes the results of intensive
interviews with people of pensionable age in Bethnal Green in East
London. Part one shows that most people are members of closely-knit
extended families of three generations, often living in separate
households in adjoining streets. The life of these families is of
absorbing interest and the social structure of the home, the system
of family care and the domestic, economic and social relationships
between husbands and their wives, and between old people and their
children and brothers and sisters, are carefully analysed. Part two
discusses the social problems of old age against this background.
This book will be of interest to students of sociology and
gerontology.
