Professor at the Institute for Sociology and Social Psychology, University of Cologne, GermanyAbout the author:
My interests are in families, life courses, demography, and social stratification. The relevance of studying these issues lies in the enormous social and demographic changes that have occurred in virtually all developed societies in the past decades, in particular the gender role revolution at home, the increase in divorce, the decline of fertility, and the ageing of the population.
