Conclusion. 330 $aFamily life has changed rapidly over te past fifty years and the number of people living longer increases year on year Family and Community Life of Older People revisits three areas (Bethnal Green in London, Wolverhampton in the Midlands and Woodford in Essex) which were the subject of classic studies in the late 1940s and 1950s and explores changes to the family and community lives of older people. The book examines issues such as: *changes in household composition *changes in the geographical proximity of kin and relatives *the extent and type of help provided by the family *contact and relationships with neighbours *relationships with friends *involvement in social and leisure activities *experiences of minority ethnic groups. These questions are explored through a unique set of data including census material, and survey data from interviews with over 600 older people. A key finding is that over the past 50 years we have moved from an old age experienced within the context of the family group to one shaped by personal communities in which friends may feature as significantly as immediate kin and relatives. Family and Community Life of Older People is a major contribution to the sociology of the family, of ageing, and of urban life and points up the social policy issues for an ageing society. 606 $aOlder people$zEngland$zLondon 606 $aOlder people$zEngland$zWolverhampton 606 $aOlder people$zEngland$zWoodford 606 $aOlder people$xSocial networks$zEngland$zLondon 606 $aOlder people$xSocial networks$zEngland$zWolverhampton 606 $aOlder people$xSocial networks$zEngland$zWoodford 606 $aOlder people$xServices for$zEngland$zLondon 606 $aOlder people$xServices for$zEngland$zWolverhampton 606 $aOlder people$xServices for$zEngland$zWoodford 606 $aOlder people$zEngland$zLondon$xFamily relationships 606 $aOlder people$zEngland$zWolverhampton$xFamily relationships 606 $aOlder people$zEngland$zWoodford$xFamily relationships 607 $aBethnal Green (London, England) 615 0$aOlder people 615 0$aOlder people 615 0$aOlder people 615 0$aOlder people$xSocial networks 615 0$aOlder people$xSocial networks 615 0$aOlder people$xSocial networks 615 0$aOlder people$xServices for 615 0$aOlder people$xServices for 615 0$aOlder people$xServices for 615 0$aOlder people$xFamily relationships. 615 0$aOlder people$xFamily relationships. 615 0$aOlder people$xFamily relationships. 676 $a305.26/0942 701 $aPhillipson$b Chris$0912123 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910171007103321 996 $aThe family and community life of older people$92042414 997 $aUNINA
