| Annotation | The aim of this special issue of Ageing and Society is to examine the relationships between support for older people and various socio-demographic, cultural and policy factors in selected European countries and the US, using the international comparative perspective developed by members of the Family Support for Older People: Determinants and Consequences (FAMSUP) Network. Four of the papers were given by network members at a symposium on 'Family Support for Older People: International Comparisons' held at the International Sociological Association (ISA) Inter-Congress Conference on Ageing Societies and Ageing Sociology: Diversity and Change in a Global World, held at Roehampton University in September 2004. A guest editorial (pp 689-692), 'The FAMSUP network and its comparative studies of family support for frail older people' outlines the aims and work of FAMSUP, which was supported by a grant from the European Science Foundation (ESF) during 2002-04. (RH). |
