“…He presents a powerful example of historical change: US 20-year-olds in the year 2000 were more likely to have a grandmother still living (91%) than 20-year-olds in 1900 were to have a mother living (83%). All these authors build on earlier ground-breaking work, such as Glick's writing on the family life cycle, published in the 1940s and 50s (e.g., Glick, 1947) and Ryder's (1965) discussion of cohorts and social change.…”

Our starting point is that a social psychological approach dominates the literature on interdependent or "linked" lives (Elder, 1994). We argue that interdependence is not only social-psychological, but is also structured on a macro-level. More specifically, we illustrate ways in which demographic change, such as increased co-longevity, creates different opportunities for interdependence for men and women. In addition, we draw attention to the role of national policies, distinguishing ways in which legislation mandates generational interdependence (e.g., legal obligations to provide financial support), blocks generational interdependence (e.g., grandparents not granted the right to raise grandchildren when parents cannot provide adequate care; migration laws not granting temporary visits to enable the provision of care), generates generational interdependence (e.g., daddy quota), and lightens generational interdependence (e.g., less reliance on grandparental care in Northern and Western Europe due to public support to parents of young children). We pay specific attention to childless men and women, questioning the primacy assigned to kinship ties in health care and long-term support policies. Gender receives consistent consideration throughout the paper.

“…The model LDS 1.0 is an innovative treatment of internal migration and residential location that combines elements from life cycle approach (Glick, 1947;Kim, Horner, & Marans, 2005;Rossi, 1955) and the random utility model (Lee & Waddell, 2010;McFadden, 1974McFadden, , 1978 it also takes into account previous changes in local conditions when determining mobility and destination choices (Add reference later).…”

“…The strong focus on the family of procreation is evident, for example, in the literature on the "family cycle" (Feldman & Feldman, 1975;Glick, 1947Glick, , 1977Glick & Parke, 1965) or "family development" (Duvall, 1957;Hill & Rodgers, 1964). These perspectives have been used to study the succession of stages through which the typical nuclear family passes from the time it is formed until it dissolves.…”

This article provides the rationale for doing research on childlessness and parenthood in late life. Childless older adults have been rendered invisible in the social scientific literature. A central goal of this issue is to make them visible and to expose unstated assumptions about normal adult life. Parenthood emerges as a key organizer of the life course and a major factor in social integration. Because the childless tend to be conceptualized as "the other," focusing on them teaches lessons about the dangers of dichotomous thinking, that is, overlooking diversity and assuming deficiency. Studying older adults without children reveals the necessity of considering life pathways over time and of putting lives in a historical context.
