Whether considered from an American or a European perspective, the
past four decades have seen family life become increasingly
complex. Changing Family Dynamics and Demographic Evolution
examines the various stages of change through the image of a
kaleidoscope, providing new insights into the field of family
dynamics and diversity. Contributions from both eminent and
contemporary scholars provide a comprehensive and multidisciplinary
perspective encompassing over five decades and two continents. This
is the kaleidoscope, showing the diversity and complexity of
contemporary families. Each chapter is a new turn with the built in
mirrors reflecting new insights into the colored glass and beads.
Through this analogy, this book explores family transitions in the
US and Europe, gender dimensions of family transitions, children in
new families, intersectional approaches of demographic processes
and policy perspectives as well as offering thoughts on a future
outlook. Unique and accessible, this book will appeal to students
and researchers in a variety of fields including demography, the
sociology of the family, gender studies and family law. It will
also be of value to policy makers for children and families as well
as those involved in family social care. Contributors include: E.

Current demographic trends raise new questions, challenges and
controversies. Comparing demographic trends in Europe and the
NAME-region (North Africa and the Middle East), this book
demonstrates how population change interacts with changing economic
landscapes, social distinctions and political realities. A variety
of drivers contribute to demographic change in the various regions
and countries considered, such as family policies, economic
realities, the impact of educational differentials and the
attitudes towards marriage. On the macro-level the new trends are
restructuring the age composition of populations and are reshaping
the life courses of individuals and families. In turn, the impact
demographic forces have on the organisation of labour markets, on
fiscal policies, on the care of the elderly, on migration flows and
on political changes can be quite radical. The volume provides food
for thought for those who are looking for a nuanced perspective on
the background and future perspectives of demographic developments
in Europe, for a discussion of recent demographic and political
realities in the NAME countries, and for those who analyse the
effects of contrasting demographic regimes on migration flows to
and migration politics in Europe. Chapter 1 of this book is freely
