Other major concerns involve relationships with younger and older generations: boomerang kids who leave home and return, and aging parents, often healthy and active now, who may need care in their later years. \u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe book begins with a discussion of how demographic and social changes affect midlife, followed by chapters on work and retirement planning or looking for the good years, the not-so-empty nest, and aging parents. A chapter on mid-life women considers the implications of combining work and caregiving and raises concerns about their economic well-being, given their longer life expectancy and often more limited resources. The book ends with a consideration of policy issues that may affect midlife in the future.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Rosalie Genovese\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0897894669\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780897894661\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Praeger\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/30\/1997\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 152\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.92lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.54h x 6.43w x 0.67d","brand":"Rosalie Genovese","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48087043506431,"sku":"9780897894661","price":75.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_06bb6400-abcd-4a39-94ae-e19436121d52.jpg?v=1769097978","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/americans-at-midlife-rosalie-genovese-9780897894661","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
