Populations around the globe are ageing rapidly. This demographic
shift affects families, market structures and social provisions.
This timely volume, part of the Ageing and the Lifecourse series,
argues that the lifecourse perspective helps us understand the
causes and effects of population ageing. The lifecourse perspective
suggests that individuals' experiences at an early age can
influence their decisions and behaviour at a later age. This
much-needed volume combines insights from different disciplines and
real-life experiences to describe the theories and practices behind
this idea. It therefore caters to the needs of scholars,
practitioners and policy makers in a range of areas including
sociology and political science.
This is a collectively written, inter-disciplinary, thematic
cross-national study which combines conceptual, theoretical,
empirical and policy material in an ambitious and innovative way to
explore a key concept in contemporary European political, policy
and academic debates. The first part of the book clarifies the
various ways that the concept of citizenship has developed
historically and is understood today in a range of Western European
welfare states. It elaborates on the contemporary framing of
debates and struggles around citizenship. This provides a framework
for three policy studies, looking at: migration and
multiculturalism; the care of young children; and home-based
childcare and transnational dynamics. The book is unusual in
weaving together the topics of migration and childcare and in
studying these issues together within a gendered citizenship
framework. It also demonstrates the value of a multi-level
conceptualisation of citizenship, stretching from the domestic
sphere through the national and European levels to the global. The
book is aimed at students of social policy, sociology, European
studies, women's studies and politics and at
researchers/scholars/policy analysts in the areas of citizenship,
gender, welfare states and migration.
