Overview

This authoritative text offers the first comprehensive analysis of intergenerational relations and social welfare. It examines both the micro-sociological relations within the family and the social contract which forms the backbone of the welfare state.; This book is intended to appeal to undergraduates and postgraduates in sociology, social policy and medicine and it will also be particularly useful for professional courses such as nursing, social work and gerontology.
