Annotation	As the United States' economy evolves and manufacturing jobs disappear, the prospect of each generation experiencing a standard of living that exceeds that of their parents also disappears. The papers in this publication explore this trend, presenting the latest research on the changing roles of caregivers along with the economic and emotional effects on the family unit. Long-term care and the standard of living of families are considered, the focus being on the effects of changing family structures and with particular reference to grandparenting. How these changes will impact on society at large is considered in the context of economic and caregiving problems that will be faced by the Baby Boomer generation in coming decades. This book is co-published simultaneously as Marriage & Family Review, vol 37, nos 1/2, 2005. (KJ/RH).
