Population ageing today affects most industrialised countries, and
it will have an impact on many facets of the social system.
Intergenerational relationships will play a key role in dealing
with the demographical and societal change. This book provides
innovative views in the multidisciplinary research field of
intergenerational family relations in society, with a focus on
Europe. Different, but complementary, perspectives are integrated
in one volume bringing together international scholars from
sociology, psychology and economics. The book's chapters are
grouped into three thematic sections which cover conceptual issues,
multigenerational and cross-cultural perspectives, as well as
applied issues. Implications for research, policy and practice are
addressed and suggestions for future directions are discussed. By
raising recent discussions on controversial issues, this book will
stimulate the current discourse at various levels.
Intergenerational relations in society and family will be equally
interesting for researchers, advanced-level students and
stakeholders in the fields of social policy, population ageing and
intergenerational family relationships.
This book which has been created in the framework of the EU-funded
COST Action INTERFASOL brings together researchers from 22
INTERFASOL countries, who frame intergenerational family solidarity
in the specific historical, cultural, social and economic context
of their own country. Integrating different perspectives from
social and political sciences, economics, communication, health and
psychology, the book offers country-specific knowledge and new
insights into family relations, family values and family policies
across Europe.

The present volume deals with the experience of ambivalence in
family relations - a well-known phenomenon that has inspired more
and more research and theorizing in the last years but that is
however sometimes difficult to capture. Bringing together junior
and senior researchers from different parts of the world, ideas on
theory and research are elaborated following qualitative and
quantitative approaches. This book thus contributes to
theory-building as well as outlining research results and helping
to develop measurement in interpersonal and intergenerational
relations.
