Document Summary
Feminist movement 70s: new uncertainty, how do they define themselves in relation to family forms, greater uncertainty, how are they contextualized, vulnerability. Fear of the unknown: transitional families (re-entry)*** Loose seniority: you loose pension, reporting job as redundant, theres a risk for waiting to long to go back to work, blended families, melded, re-marriage, re-constituted, under lots of pressure. Step fathers greater problems with step daughter: greater risk of incest. If father were there during the birth of their children, they had a stronger bond with their children while growing up. Less chance of incest: 4-7 years to warm up , for children, 40% blended marriages fail, especially if there"s children involves, childless couples. Fewer children being born: baby boomer generation getting older, pyramid of life/ lots of kids few older people/ it becomes inverted, more baby boomers, rsp - old people looking over themselves.
