• Intergenerational family relations
• Intergenerational solidarity and care
• Intergenerational transmission of culture
• Family reorganisation and reconfiguration
• Fluidity and diversity within family life
• Parental/gender role changes within the family
• New family forms - modernisation and re-traditionalisation
