Mineau Kinship and Demographic Behavior in the Past / Edited by Tommy Bengtsson USA : Springer, 2008 x, 284 p. : : illus. ; 24 cm. Indeks : p.279-284 This book examines the role of kinship and the family?s influence on the health outcomes of their children, their children?s selection of marriage partners, couples having higher order births or reduced fertility, individual migration and origins of populations. Mortality patterns are examined to determine the influence of fertility patterns on parents? mortality, the contribution of parents? longevity to their children?s lifespan, and the whether a family history of disease affects the risk of dying from that same disease. This volume emphasizes the importance of studies that include and compare other factors related to social organization with information on multi-generational families. The authors elucidate previous explanations and provide provocative new results. Such intergenerational research is crucial in understanding long term demographic trends and processes.
