The paper attempts to integrate two major theoretical approaches for the explanation of kinship relationships, namely the institutional approach of cultural anthropology and the interactionist approach of family sociology and social gerontology. It takes the institutional settings of kinship systems on the societal level into account and relates them to interactions within the kinship groups. These relations are formulated in two hypotheses: The lineagehypothesis refers to the selection of kinship members for interaction relationships; the welfarehypothesis refers to the selection with regard to the kind of relationship (functional solidarity and/ or emotional solidarity). The empirical analysis is based on an approach suggested by Silverstein et al. (1994) for intergenerational relatio...
Some 5,000 people, blowing whistles and carrying banners saying "this street should be called the boulevard of [Slobodan Milosevic]'s victims," marched through downtown Novi Sad. He had terrible, bad habits. He had a diet largely of sausages and waffles," Dr. Stephen Coles, founder of the Gerontology Research Group at the University of California, Los Angeles, said yesterday. Johnson died of pneumonia Wednesday at his home. "A lot of people think or imagine that your good habits and bad habits contribute to your longevity," Coles said.

Thirty-three cities collaborated on the report, ranging from "mega-cities" such as Mexico City and Tokyo to small towns. Four Canadian communities -- Portage, Saanich, B.C., Sherbrooke, Que. and Halifax -- also participated. Affordable housing for older adults is a major consideration, as are support services that allow people to "age in place" longer in their own homes. Social activities that take place in convenient locations and welcome family members and caregivers can help alleviate loneliness, residents told WHO. These needs are typically overlooked by city planners and architects," says Habib Chaudhury, an assistant professor in the department of gerontology at Simon Fraser University.

Demographic shifts among the aging population of the United States call for a re-examination of our understanding of the needs of these individuals especially when race, ethnicity, family composition, and country of origin are considered in the discourse. This paper examines some of the implications of the rapid increase in racial and ethnic diversity among the older population in the United States for delivering culturally competent care through community based service providers. As much of our population ages, families across cultures and classes will increasingly need to be involved with specialized service providers. An ecological approach to this issue posits that elders, their families, and communities are closely intertwined, and need to be examined in relationship to one another...
