| Annotation | Declining mortality throughout the twentieth century has altered the supply of older relatives in the kin networks of people at all stages of life, and has also changed the supply of kin for older people. Using period life tables for selected years between 1900 and 2000, the author has calculated the proportion of those who, at various stages of the life course, would have grandparents, parents, spouses, siblings and children still living. The results draw attention to the potential for kinship ties involving older people resulting from contemporary higher survival rates. |
