Gerontology & Demography

By joe490 on | From socialmeld.wordpress.com
For my inaugural entry, I’d like to post my response to a quiz I took in my Sociology of Aging course. My professor asked us to broadly define the field of gerontology, speculate on how age is defined, pose questions which would be researched within the field, & discuss demography. When I used to ask my father to do something for me and insisted that he “had” to do it, he would always tell me the same thing. “There are only two things in this world that I have to do – pay taxes and die...Read Full Story

Keeping Pace with Technology

By joe490 on | From socialmeld.wordpress.com
Whether we like it or not, the 21st century is upon us & with it comes many societal advances. Whether it be in the field of medicine, healthcare, the sciences, etc., we owe many of these advances to one thing: technology.

Also interesting is the fact that she seems to be part of a mini-baby boom in Quebec. La Presse this week had a story about the way that the province's measures aimed at encouraging having children are working. Quebec had a very high birth rate for...Read Full Story

Family Life

By DailyDemographic on | From dailydemographic.blogspot.com
An interesting trend in family life, one that almost everyone knows about, is the growth in single parent families. So, it isn't much surprise to anyone that many households ( 60 percent in 2006 ) with a female householder contain children. It might be slightly more surprising to know that almost half of households with an unmarried male householder have children. Some might see this as evidence for a sudden increase in men taking custody of children in the event of divorce. It is not. No...Read Full Story

Social Security

By DailyDemographic on | From dailydemographic.blogspot.com
One potentially worrisome consequence of our population aging is the viability of our social security system. Generally speaking the majority of the United States population is concerned that we are spending too little on social security. This percentage has been growing from about 50 percent in the early 1990s to 64 percent in 2006, the time of the last General Social Survey . At the end of the Clinton administration, when we were actually running a budget surplus social security was...Read Full Story
