Abstract:

The world is changing rapidly and population dynamics are a hugely important
dimension of global transformation. Demographic restructuring is one of the big
challenges of the twenty-first century. Not only do the components and complexion
of population change provide a fascinating arena for the research community, they
present questions of critical importance for practitioners and policy makers.
This book is the first in a series on ‘Understanding Population Trends and Processes’,
all of which are based on research contributions to our knowledge of different
aspects of population structure and distribution, all of which involve the analysis
of secondary data from censuses, surveys or administrative records, and all of which
report results for Britain (and elsewhere in Europe in some cases).
This volume brings together a series of studies that focus particularly on the
household and the roles of adults and children. Particular attention is paid to studies
of bearing and raising children, of living together or alone, of caring for those
in need, and of moving home or changing school - hence the four cross-cutting
themes that constitute the subtitle of the book - fertility, living arrangements, care
and mobility.
