商品描述

This book provides an up-to-date survey on the nature, causes, and patterns of family change. The traditional nuclear family has been replaced by a multiplicity of other forms, as widespread cohabitation, high levels of divorce and union dissolution, rising childlessness, and far below replacement fertility have emerged to an extent never before seen. Theoretical perspectives on this "Second Demographic Transition" are presented, highlighting the dramatic changes in gender roles. New methodological strategies for assessing family dynamics are presented, from multistate models of marriage and divorce combined with fertility to improved techniques for combining census and survey data on the family to a new approach for disentangling age, period, and cohort effects. While the volume emphasizes Western nations, insightful case studies range from analyzing family complexity in cohorts of parents and children in the UK to the impact of interpartner violence on family formation, to the emergence of a "gender war" in South Korea. By providing new insights into where we are today and how we got here, the book will be of value to all those interested in the contemporary family.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

本書提供了有關家庭變遷的性質、原因和模式的最新調查。傳統的核心家庭已被多種其他形式所取代,因為廣泛的同居、高離婚率和伴侶解散、日益增加的無子女現象以及遠低於更替水平的生育率達到了前所未見的程度。對於這一「第二次人口轉型」的理論觀點被提出,突顯了性別角色的劇變。新方法論策略被介紹,用於評估家庭動態,包括將婚姻和離婚的多狀態模型與生育結合,改進的技術用於結合家庭的普查和調查數據,以及一種新的方法來解開年齡、時期和世代效應的影響。雖然本書強調西方國家,但深入的案例研究涵蓋了從分析英國父母和子女世代的家庭複雜性,到伴侶間暴力對家庭形成的影響,再到韓國「性別戰爭」的出現。通過提供對當前狀況及其成因的新見解,本書將對所有對當代家庭感興趣的人士具有價值。
