Der Sammelband macht die Mehrdimensionalität des Themas "Produktives Altern und informelle Arbeit" deutlich. Die einzelnen Aufsätze unterscheiden sich nicht nur in ihrem Blickwinkel (internationale, nationale und lokale Perspektive), sondern beschäftigen sich auch mit unterschiedlichen Formen und Inhalten informeller Arbeit von Älteren (z.B. Ehrenamt, Nachbarschaftshilfe oder aber familiäre Pflege) und nutzen dazu unterschiedliche Untersuchungsmethoden. Ein zentraler Befund ist, dass informelle Arbeit nicht voraussetzungslos ist, sondern in starkem Maße von der individuellen ebenso wie gemeinschaftlichen Verfügbarkeit von Ressourcen abhängt. Auch darf das positive Leitbild des "produktiven Alterns" nicht zu einer Stigmatisierung (un)freiwillig unproduktiver Personen führen.

Drawing on unique data from the German Emigration and Remigration Panel Study (GERPS), the present book comprises empirical studies on various aspects of recent German emigrants’ transnational relationships to core family members, specifically intimate partners, parents, and children. Moreover, we reflect on conceptual and empirical challenges in previous work on transnational family relations, suggesting avenues for future research. We thereby aim to strengthen the integration of two closely related strands of social research – the sociologies of migration and families – and add an important new facet to the study of transnational families more generally. About the Editors Dr. Marcel Erlinghagen is Professor of Sociology at the University of Duisburg-Essen. Dr. Karsten Hank is Professor of Sociology at the Institute of Sociology and Social Psychology (ISS) at the University of Cologne.

Our health, our income and our social networks at older ages are the consequence of what has happened to us over the course of our lives. The situation at age 50+ reflects our own decisions as well as many environmental factors, especially interventions by the welfare state such as education policies, access to health care and many types of social protection from poverty relief to housing subsidies and maternity support. This book explores the richness of 28,000 life histories in thirteen European countries - ranging from Scandinavia to Central and Eastern Europe to the Mediterranean - collected as part of the Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe (SHARE). Combining these data with a comprehensive account of European welfare state interventions provides a unique opportunity to answer the important public policy questions of our time - how the welfare state affects people's incomes, housing, families, retirement, volunteering and health. The overarching theme of the welfare state creates a book of genuinely interdisciplinary analyses, a valuable resource for economists, gerontologists, historians, political scientists, public health analysts, and sociologists alike.
