No society can escape population ageing. This demographic
phenomenon has profound social consequences on the lifestyles of
individuals and societies. In the light of the accelerated ageing
of the Mediterranean area, the analyses which inform this work aim
to understand how the age-related policies of Nation-States are
partly responsible for the behaviours of the generations. They also
highlight how the lifestyle changes are the result of trends which
are common to these societies. The Mediterranean area constructed
here by the researchers offers an in-depth reflection on the
national cases presented, in terms of their specificities or
societal singularities, as well as of their dynamics of
convergence. Drawing on empirical research in sociology,
demography, geography and economics, exploiting the most recent
data available and setting the present in historical perspective,
Ageing, Lifestyles and Economic Crises studies Mediterranean
societies in relation to three major challenges which they now
confront. These are: population ageing and its implications in
terms of intergenerational family support relationships;
increasingly insecure adult professional trajectories and their
consequences for the evolution of social gender roles, in an
economic context commonly referred to as a 'crisis'; and lastly the
role of Nation-States' public policies in the social reproduction
of these gender inequalities. These three issues are the keystone
to understanding the ongoing transformations in the lifestyles and
life cycles of Mediterranean societies. This volume marshals a
wealth of recent data that will be useful not only to many
academics and scientists but also to local and national
policy-makers.
