The Parental Experience in Midlife

In this groundbreaking volume, distinguished scholars in anthropology, demography, economics, psychology, social work, and sociology explore the uncharted years of midlife parenthood. The authors employ a rich array of theory and methods to address how parental experience affects the health, well-being, and development of parents. Collectively, they look at the time when parents watch their children grow into adulthood and begin to establish adult-to-adult relationships with children. With a strong emphasis on the diversity of midlife parenting, including sociodemographic variations and specific parent or child characteristics such as single parenting or raising a child with a disability, this volume presents for the first time the complex factors that influence the quality of the midlife parenting experience.
