Every person is born into a family. But what is the generational composition of this family at the time of birth and how does it change in the course of their lifetime? When, for example, do we ourselves take on the roles of parents or grandparents and, in a sense, advance by one generation? Demographic and sociological research examines the family structures in which we typically age and impressively demonstrates the importance of considering the entire life course. What do such generational life courses look like and how different are they? How is one’s financial prosperity and health related to these life courses, and what changes could arise in the long term as a result of demographic change?
This event series is connected with the Einstein Center Population Diversity in Berlin. The Center will bring together top-level researchers working on this topic in a joint institution, and contribute to the international visibility of Germany as a research area. The Förderfonds Wissenschaft in Berlin supports this initiative.
