| Annotation | The late 20th century saw the emergence and consolidation of a variety of new kin structures within many industrialised societies: reconstituted or recombinant stepfamilies, ethnic minority families, single-parent families, and cohabiting couples. This research report outlines the demographics of such changing family structures in European Union (EU) countries; the increase in age of family transitions; and the structure and duration of family roles and relationships. More detailed exposition of the ideas in this report are published in the author's "Ageing societies" (Edward Arnold, 2003), and "The family in ageing societies" (OUP, 2003). (RH). |
