| Annotation | Family care is central to the lives of a substantial proportion of older people in the UK. Research suggests that this care flows in different directions - from young to old, old to young: from grandparents to grandchildren and vice versa. But alterations to the structure of family life are also affecting care relationships. The family in the late twentieth century is a more diverse institution, with higher rates of cohabitation, divorce and marriage. The author takes a look at how family care in Britain may be entering a new phase. (RH). |
