Family Ties & AgingPublication Date: 2019
Family Ties & Aging shows how pressing issues of our time--an aging population, changing family structures, and new patterns of work-life balance--are negotiated in the family lives of middle-aged and older adults. The authors promote an inclusive view of family ties and of middle-aged and older persons as they discuss new information on intimate relationships in later life, intergenerational ties, and the consequences of social trends such as divorce, cohabiting, living apart together and changing time lines in work and family life for older persons' family ties with multiple generations.
