| Annotation | Chapters in this book arise from a seminar held under the auspices of the Fertility and Reproduction Studies Group (FRSG) of the Institute of Social and Cultural Anthropology, Department of Sociology at the University of Oxford in 2001. Papers combine qualitative and quantitative methods to define and characterise the experience of ageing without children. Asian perspectives are represented by examples from West Sumatra, South India and East Java. Papers on Europe consider demographic change and implications for family support for older people; British Pakistani older people without children; rural ageing in East Anglia and Normandy; and older people on three Greek islands prior to the Second World War.
