Abstract:
An ageing demographic and changing family practices in Western societies raise the
question as to what kind of care landscape will emerge. An Irish study explores
practices, experiences and meanings of relations between generations at family and
societal levels using constructivist grounded theory. A process of 'generational
observing' is found to be reshaping care practices albeit in ways that are contoured by class.
