AnnotationThis paper on Australian research on the demography of ageing and the family begins with topics of demographic ageing and demographic theory, outlining studies concerned with population projections, living arrangements and the ethnic minority aged. Later sections provide an overview of the changing characteristics of cohorts reaching later life. The paper suggests four priorities for future demographic research: projections of the characteristics of older people; the ageing of ethnic minorities; the links between the life cycle experiences of different generations within families; and the impact of socioeconomic status on life chances.
