17th Annual De Jong Lecture in Social Demography
9:00 AM - 12:00 PM / September 16, 2022
The 17th Annual De Jong Lecture in Social Demography, "Generational Overlap: Changing Demography and Shared Lifetimes", will be presented by Marcy Carlson, professor of sociology at the University of Wisconsin–Madison, on Sept. 16, 9 a.m.–12 p.m., in room 233B in the HUB and virtually.
Carlson will consider how changing demographic patterns (i.e., declining/delayed fertility and longer life expectancies) shape the prevalence of generational overlap, especially for children and grandparents. Generational overlap in the form of shared lifetimes represents a fundamental condition guiding whether and how kin relationships across generations may develop and how resources may be shared — with notable variation by socioeconomic status, race/ethnicity and family complexity.
Registration is required to attend or to livestream. Graduate students and post-docs can sign up for a lunch discussion with the presenters. See the event website for more information.
