Review of Ageing, Lifestyles and Economic Crises. The New People of the Mediterranean, edited by Thierry Bl?ss, in collaboration with Isabelle Bl?ss-Widmer, Elena Ambrosetti, Michèle Pagès and Sébastien Oliveau
This miscellaneous book, edited by Thierry Bl?ss, in collaboration with Isabelle Bl?ss-Widmer, Elena Ambrosetti, Michèle Pagès and Sébastien Oliveau, is an excellent example of how to deal with a classical topic of Demography—population ageing and its consequences—in an original way. Three lines of research or “major cross-cutting issues” (p. 1) are addressed in the book, with the aim of highlighting the evolution of lifestyles and life cycles in Mediterranean societies. The lines of research are (1) the ageing of populations and the consequent transformations of life stages, defined according to social groups and to gender categories and considering the territorial dimension; (2) the evolution of intergenerational dynamics and relationships, and the related policies; and (3) the evolution of women’s role in the society: both in the family and in the labour market. This is a book about dynamics and transformations. The principle of family solidarity, individualism versus altruism, family as imperfect institution, division of roles between family and state and, within the family, between men and women, the economic crisis and the produced social vulnerabilities are some of the core topics of the volume. These topics are transversal to the book’s three lines of research and, therefore, they are accordingly declined.
