Riding the Age Waves - Volume 2

Redaktion: Gauthier, Anne H.; Tuljapurkar, Shripad; Chu, C. Y. Cyrus

Beschreibung

This book explores how demographic changes affect inter-generational transfers of time, money, goods, and services, all things that play a role in the well-being of individuals and families. It details the nature and measurement of transfers, their motives and mechanisms, and their macro-level dimensions, especially in the context of demographic transitions. Coverage includes original empirical analyses of datasets from some twenty countries and extends the traditional analysis of inter-generational transfers by examining different types of transfers.

Rezensionen

From the reviews:

"The subject of this particular volume is intergenerational transfers as a key determinant of individual well-being. ... This is, I am sure, exciting reading for those engaged in this type of studies ... . This type of anthology may serve as important reference literature for specialists as it is clearly filled with high-quality contributions ... . Each of the chapters would probably be publishable in an international field journal where the readership really can appreciate the fine points." (Thomas Lindh, European Journal of Population, Vol. 24, 2008)
