Description
Understanding grandparenting in the 21st century is crucial for grasping profound family and societal changes. This book provides a sociological approach to grandparenting across diverse country contexts, combining new theorising with up-to-date empirical findings.
Leading contributors analyse how grandparenting differs according to the nature of the welfare state and cultural context, as well as its relationship to family breakdown and men's changing roles. The book sheds light on the complex issues faced by grandparents today, including conflicting norms and expectations about their roles.
Contemporary Grandparenting is a valuable resource for students and researchers in sociology and social policy, offering insights into key areas of study such as family, childhood, ageing, and gender studies.
