Table of ContentsReviews'These observations are hardly novel for demographers, but bringing them together in a comprehensive manner is very useful. Even those who are well informed about the developments in the region can benefit from the observations and insights provided by the authors... the book makes at least two important contributions. First, it summarizes state-of-the- art research on demographic ageing in Eastern Europe. Second, by mapping out the gaps, obstacles, and potential paths to explore it serves as a useful guide for future comparative research on the region. The book should also attract the attention of policymakers, whose responsibility for successfully coping with the challenges of demographic ageing is stated plainly. The fact that the volume draws on the expertise of researchers who obviously have intimate knowledge of their societies makes the book all the more valuable.' Population Studies 'The book should be considered particularly interesting for demographers as well as researchers of social, political and economic transformation of Central and Eastern European countries. It stimulates the further deepening of research from comparative and regional perspectives. It will also be useful for those involved in the analysis of changes in family relations and family care.'
