Families in Ageing Societies: A Multi-Disciplinary Approach
Sarah Harper
Abstract
This book explores the interactions between family and ageing in Western industrialised societies. It features 10 chapters. Chapters 1-3 provide and overview of the demographic and social factors in aging societies. Chapters 4-5 address the specific roles and relationships emerging within contemporary families. Chapters 6-8 discuss the care and support for older relatives. Chapters 9-10 focus on topics that have received little attention — inheritance and the impact of family on the health of its members.
Keywords: aging, kinship, family, health, demographics, Western societies, inheritance, elderly care
