Examine the changing structure of the family as America's
population ages! As the United States' economy evolves and
manufacturing jobs disappear, the prospect of each generation
experiencing a standard of living that exceeds that of their
parents' generation also disappears. Challenges of Aging on U.S.
Families: Policy and Practice Implications explores this trend,
presenting the latest original research on the changing roles of
caregivers along with the economic and emotional effects on the
family unit. Respected authorities discuss in detail long-term care
and the standard of living of families, with a focus on the effects
of changing family structures on families themselves and society at
large. The coming boom in the population of the aging will impact
families at several levels. Challenges of Aging on U.S. Families
thoroughly examines the economic demands of aging on families, then
focuses on different roles elderly family members are likely to
play over the next several decades. Some of the issues explored
include skipped generation parenting where children are raised in
grandparent homes where neither parent is present, the impending
economic impact of caregiving on families, the stress on families
with fewer siblings to share the caregiving tasks, and the tendency
for family members to live in different parts of the country and
subsequently become unable to offer caregiver support. Detailed
tables provide clarity of thought while comprehensive
bibliographies offer further opportunity for study. Challenges of
Aging on U.S. Families discusses: the economics of aging the
implications of aging economics and emotional stress on the future
of families the coming labor shortage of caregivers family-based
intervention in residential long-term care shifting relationships
between parents and their children caregivers self-esteem issues
involving daughter caregivers paying family caregiversas public
policy a proposed policy of requiring adult children to care for
their aging parents inheritance and intergenerational transmission
of parental care the inherent psychological stress within skipped
generation families Challenges of Aging on U.S. Families: Policy
and Practice Implications is an eye-opening text for researchers,
health professionals, social workers, counselors, caregivers,
educators, and students.
