Publisher's Synopsis

Social Structures and Human Lives consists of papers from the 1986 American Sociological Association annual meeting selected to reflect the rich and diverse array of conceptual, methodological, and substantive reports presented there.

Leading academics and researchers in the field offer information about aging over the life course; the relationship between aging and the changing structure of families, firms, state, and society as a whole; and implications for equality of opportunity for people of differing age, gender, race and socioeconomic status.

A final chapter links selected topics from previous chapters to established sociological concerns and clarifies the broad scope of the book′s central theme. Addressed to pioneering sociologists seeking avenues for enlarging and integrating the field and to students of sociology and related disciplines, the volume provides state of the art assessments and a vision of where sociology is heading.
