Description

Continuing to Care? explores the evolving landscape of an aging America and the shifting dynamics within the family system. Historically, caregiving has been a primary obligation rooted in an informal intergenerational contract that defines the responsibilities between different age groups. This system of reciprocity has served as a foundation for American family life and has supported the development of vital social programs like Social Security and Medicare. This volume examines how recent changes in the American family structure threaten this traditional intergenerational contract. As family definitions change, the ways in which older Americans receive support are also shifting. This book provides a detailed look at these transformations, offering insight into the challenges facing both older adults and the families that support them in the 21st century. It is an essential resource for those studying the sociology of aging and the changing social structures of the United States.
