Das Alter
Keine ausführliche Beschreibung für "Das Alter" verfügbar.
Alter(n) in der alternden Gesellschaft
Spät, aber mit Nachdruck, sind Politik, Massenmedien und Öffentlichkeit auf ein Thema gestoßen, dass schon bald ein Problem für moderne Zivilisationen sein dürfte, das Altern der Gesellschaft. Seit Jahrzehnten erleben wir einen Zuwachs an Lebensjahren und zugleich einen Rückgang der Geburten. Während das erste grundsätzlich begrüßt wird – wer wollte sich nicht freuen über ein längeres - ben(?) – nahm man das „Geburtendefizit“ – vor allem in Deutschland – eher schulterzuckend hin. Kinder zu bekommen gilt heute als Privatsache. Wer wollte sich da einmischen? Die Bevölkerungsforschung hat seit langem auf die aus d- ser Lage hervorgehenden Probleme hingewiesen, und inzwi...
Gender, Health and Ageing
The different research fields – gerontology, gender and health – have generated different views, knowledge and foci on ageing, health and gender. It is now necessary to integrate these aspects into research, policy and practice. The objective of this book is to provide an overview of gender, health and ageing. Important theoretical concepts, such as life course and "Lebenslagen" in old age, or differences in men's health, are introduced. It is increasingly important to build a European basis of knowledge, to conduct discussions on European research findings, and to develop European research frameworks. In this volume, central theoretical debates on gender impacts on life course and old-age health, and vital issues of health research in the context of gender and old age are introduced. Specific aspects, such as the impact of gender and age on cardiovascular health, elder abuse and mental health, or care between gender relations, gender roles and gender constructs, are pointed out. Special attention is given to the impact of social, political and economic change in different New EU Member States, like Hungary, Poland and Slovenia.
Residential Change and Demographic Challenge
Going beyond the assumption that East Central European cities are still 'in transition' this book draws on the postsocialism paradigm to ask new questions about the impact of demographic change on residential developments in this region. Focussing on four second-order cities in this region, it examines Gdansk and Lódz in Poland and Brno and Ostrava in the Czech Republic as examples and deals with the nexus between urban development and demographic change for the context of East Central European cities. It provides a framework for linking urban and demographic research. It discusses how residential areas and urban developments cope with changes in population development, household types and different forms of in- and out-migration and goes on to explore parallels and differences in comparison with broader European patterns. This book will be useful to academics of urban planning and development especially in transition areas, Central and Eastern European studies, demographics and population studies, and sociology/social exclusion.
Modern Japanese society / edited by Josef Kreiner, Ulrich Hohwald and Hans Dieter Olschleger.
Is Japanese society essentially different from other modern industrialized societies, or not? This survey work with contributions from the leading scholars in this complicated field, presents a full overview of the most important aspects of Japanese society which may lead the reader to find an answer to these two often-asked questions. Japanese society, defined as those institutions shaping the life of individuals and groups, as well as being responsible for the dynamics of social development, is shown to be as modern as any other industrialized society; definitely distinct, though, are the ways in which institutions are defined and organised as a result of different social and historical roots of the process of modernization.
Reframing Demographic Change in Europe
Demographic change in Europe has been a topic of great public and political interest since the 1990s. The central aim of this book is to create new questions for research by connecting the topics of demographic change, of the restructuring of the welfare state and of change in gender relations. The articles have a closer look at the interrelation of these social and political changes by highlighting different national situations as well as different theoretical and empirical aspects. They try to reframe the 'problem' of demographic change by analyzing it in the context of gender and welfare state transformations.
The History of Families and Households: Comparative European Dimensions
The history of family and households has been the subject of intensive research for over a generation. In the 1970s Peter Laslett and others set the agenda with a strong emphasis on geographical differences between northern and southern, eastern and western Europe. Others have challenged this view, pioneering different approaches. This volume takes stock of the field, focussing particularly on family history in South-East Europe in comparison with the rest of Europe. The authors consider what European families have in common, their regional and local differences and changes over time, using the rich and fascinating variety of sources and methods used by family historians today. Contributors include: Guido Alfani, Judit Ambrus, Mirjana V. Bobić, Siegfried Gruber, Peter Guzowski, Violetta Hionidou, Daniela Lombardi, Beatrice Moring, Silvia Sovič, Pat Thane, Alice Velková, Marta Verginella, and Pier Paolo Viazzo.
Reflexive Gerontagogik
Thema ist die Analyse der Widersprüche zwischen Bildungstheorie und Bildungspraxis in der Altenbildung. In der Praxis ist die Partizipation der Älteren an organisierter Altenbildung relativ gering. Außerdem werden nur selten die von der Gerontagogik intendierten Bildungsangebote (Bildung als Lebenshilfe oder zur Bewältigung von "Schüsselproblemen") genutzt. Die Gerontagogik geht hingegen von einem umfassenden Bedarf an Bildung aus. Dieser Bedarf wird unter verschiedenen Perspektiven begründet und organisierte Bildung im Alter - etwa unter der Perspektive des lebenslangen Lernens - als Notwendigkeit postuliert. Anspruch der Arbeit ist es die Diskrepanz zwischen Theorie und ernüchternder Praxis aufzuklären. Die Analyse der "Bildungseuphorie" zeichnet die Argumentationsmuster auf Basis der aktuellen Literatur detailliert nach. Darüber hinaus wird versucht, Ursachen für den Optimismus zu identifizieren.
Die zweite Lebenshälfte
Verläßliche Informationen über die alternde Gesellschaft sind bisher dünn gesät. Der Alters-Survey - gefördert vom Bundesministerium für Familie, Senioren, Frauen und Jugend - schafft hier Abhilfe. Er basiert auf einer großen, anspruchsvoll angelegten Repräsentativuntersuchung der deutschen Bevölkerung von 40-85 Jahren. Diese kann sowohl im Sinne einer Sozialberichterstattung wie auch zur Klärung zentraler Theoretischer Fragen genutzt werden. Das Buch bietet eine umfassende Darstellung der soziologischen Befunde des Alters-Survey.
