Drawing on national surveys of family trajectories and social networks, the contributors highlight personal and family relationships through the lens of network and life course perspectives as well as gender and generational perspectives. Providing innovative, comparative findings on families and personal networks through the use of diverse methodologies, this edited collection will be of interest to scholars, students and policymakers across a range of social science disciplines. .Palgrave Macmillan Studies in Family and Intimate Life,2731-6459SociologySocial groupsFamily policySociology of Family, Youth and AgingChildren, Youth and Family PolicySociology.Social groups.Family policy.Sociology of Family, Youth and Aging.Children, Youth and Family Policy.305Wall Karinedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtWidmer Eric Dedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtGauthier Jacques–Antoineedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtČesnuitytė Vidaedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtGouveia Ritaedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtBOOK9910300569603321Families and Personal Networks2241645UNINA
