Abstract

The doubling of our average life span since the turn of the 20th century is considered by many scholars to be one of the most important changes in human existence. This definitive text is the only volume to fully address, through a multidisciplinary perspective, the biological, cognitive, and psychological development that occurs from infancy through old age, and how the sociocultural and institutional factors interface with these changes. Edited by leading research scholars in the field of life-span development, the volume also includes contributions of specialists in behavioral genetics, soc

Abstract

This book represents an original collection of essays which examine generational relations over the life course, esp. as they affect supports in the later years of life. Focussing on historic and contemporay Europe, the USA, and Asia, each essay examines the impact of social change on generational supports in the later years of life. By following a life course perspective, the essays illuminate the ways in which relationships of care-giving are formed over life and are adapted in relation to institutional and societal changes.
