| Annotation | In considering age integration, the author discusses the importance of kin ties to the link between older people and children (grandparents and grandchildren), and the valuable contribution made by some older people in rearing their grandchildren. He also draws attention to projects in the US that explicitly promote interaction between older people and children, and which demonstrate how age integration can enhance the lives of both older and younger people. This is one of a series of eleven essays originally presented at sessions on age integration at both the International Sociological Association meeting in Montreal and the American Sociological Association meeting in San Francisco in 1998, and also adapted from a working paper issued by the National Institute on Aging (NIA) in May 1999.
