The ageing of Western societies has provoked extensive sociological
debate, surrounding both the role of the state and whether it can
afford the cost of an ageing population, and the role of the
family, especially women, in supporting older people. In this
important book, the authors examine how changes, such as cuts in
welfare provision, migration, urbanization and individualisation
influence intergenerational relations. The collection addresses
theoretical and policy issues connecting age and generation with
the family and social policy, and focuses both on cross-cultural
comparison within societies and analysis based on a range of
societies. This edited collection brings together a range of
leading researchers and theorists from across Europe to advance a
sociological understanding of generational relations, in terms of
the state and the family and how they are interlinked. It will be
of interest to academics and researchers in sociology, social
policy and ageing, and to policy makers concerned with the
implications of demographic and policy changes.
