| Annotation | Recent decades have seen marked changes in household patterns across all age groups in the UK and elsewhere. The trend towards living alone, and other social and demographic changes such as rises in divorce, lone parenthood and women's paid employment, have raised major concerns about the willingness and ability of younger people to provide support for frail older relatives. Equally important, but less often considered, is the possibility of change in support given by older people to younger relatives. The authors investigated these issues, by examining the household patterns of people aged 50 and over, using data from a range of large scale, nationally representative surveys. (RH). |
