Major changes have happened in households and people's lives in
most countries in the developed world. Marriage rates have fallen,
divorce has risen, women are having fewer children and later in
life, and there has been a rise in childbearing outside marriage.
One in four families is headed by a lone parent. We are all getting
older. These changes have significance that goes beyond the
individual families-with implications for housing demand, social
security benefits, labour force participation, health, and social
services. Changing Britain provides a comprehensive portrait of
British families and households at the end of the 20th Century. The
book examines more generally the nature of economic and labour
market change, Britain's place in Europe, and changing attitudes
towards family life. Specifically, the book also deals with issues
such as; older people's lives; non-heterosexual families;
one-person households; young mothers and single parents; and
divorce.
