Marcy Carlson will consider how changing demographic patterns (i.e., declining/delayed fertility and longer life expectancies) shape the prevalence of generational overlap, especially for children and grandparents. Generational overlap in the form of shared lifetimes represents a fundamental condition guiding whether and how kin relationships across generations may develop and how resources may be shared – with notable variation by socioeconomic status, race/ethnicity and family complexity.
This is the 17th Annual De Jong Lecture in Social Demography, hosted by the Population Research Institute at Penn State. The lecture is free and open to everyone. Registration is required.
Gordon F.
