Description
Whilst demographers and sociologists have previously studied the formation of new families through marriage and the birth of children, much less attention has been devoted to the later phazes of the life courses of families, such as the dissolution of marriages through widowhood and divorce, remarriage, kinship networks, the living arrangements of the elderly, and the reduction in the size of household caused by children leaving the parental home. The papers in this book, first delivered at a seminar organized by the International Union for the Scientific Study of Population held in Berlin, describe these processes and draw on empirical material from different countries including Britain, France, Belgium, Germany, Hungary, the United States and Australia.
