Das Generationenthema ist gleichermaßen populär wie kontrovers. Seine Popularität zeigt sich an der Generationenetikettierungswut, von der auch manche Soziologen ergriffen sind. Wie kontrovers das Thema ist, wird daran deutlich, daß von der einen Seite ein "Krieg der Generationen" heraufbeschworen wird, während andernorts von einer "neuen Solidarität zwischen den Generationen" die Rede ist. In diesem Buch erläutern die führenden Vertreter der Generationenforschung den Stand der Diskussion und zeigen, was die Generationenforschung für die Analyse von Familie und Gesellschaft leisten kann.

Generationen in Familie und Gesellschaft

"Family-related migration is moving to the centre of political debates on migration, integration and multiculturalism in Europe. It is also more and more leading to lively academic interest in the family dimensions of international migration. At the same time, strands of research on family migrations and migrant families remain separate from--and sometimes ignorant of--each other. This volume seeks to bridge the disciplinary divides. Fifteen chapters come up with a number of common themes. Collectively, the authors address the need to better understand the diversity of family-related migration and its resulting family forms and practices, to question, if not counter, simplistic assumptions about migrant families in public discourses, to study family migration from a mix of disciplinary perspectives at various levels and via different methodological approaches and to acknowledge the state's role in shaping family-related migration, practices and lives"--Rear cover.

Gender, Generations and the Family in International Migration

In all Western countries, people are retiring earlier than ever before, and people are living longer, thus prolonging the length of retirement. What are the effects of this phenomenon on society in general and on the labor force, and what are the psychological effects on retirees? Time for Retirement addresses the "aging of society" and the restructuring of the life course in terms of the changing relationship between work and retirement. Practically, it assesses the range of possible political answers to this process, with a comparative analysis of different national regimes.
