How are #ageing #populations, changing #family structures, and #inequalities reshaping #intergenerational support?
In June, we welcomed more than 40 delegates from the UK, Europe, and beyond to the University of St Andrews for the CPC-CG Symposium on Intergenerational Change and Support, where they explored these issues over two days of presentations and discussions.

Within families, does influence flow only from parents to children?
Challenging traditional assumptions, in #ChangingPopulations find new research which explores whether children’s genetic predispositions for health, behavioural and cognitive traits were associated with major family outcomes, including whether parents had more children, married or separated.

What do people value and what are the challenges in creating a sense of belonging and community?
In the latest issue of #ChangingPopulations, we report on two projects that explore #community resilience and cohesion: one based on fieldwork in #Stobswell, a neighbourhood of #Dundee, #Scotland, and one that uses innovative #digitaltools to collect large-scale public data on #social cohesion, trust, #belonging, and #community life across #Britain.

Also in this #ChangingPopulations, we focus on caring, working and ageing, and ask whether Britain is prepared as we face a “perfect storm”, with people expected to work longer, fund their own future care, and provide informal unpaid care, all at once - page 4

In this issue of #ChangingPopulations, we report on findings that suggest declining fertility isn't simply the result of young people rejecting relationships and parenthood. Instead, economic and social barriers are making these goals harder to achieve - head to page 3

💷In the latest #ChangingPopulations, we also reported on financial preparedness for later life among individuals from the #Chinese community in the UK.
The findings reveal a lack of trust in the government and #pensions systems, leading to an emphasis on personal #savings, self-reliance, and family support for #financialsecurity in later life.

In section 10 of #ChangingPopulations, Ridhi Kashyap discusses updates to the Digital Gender Gaps dashboard, and the importance of digital #genderequality.
For example, women who own mobile phones and use the internet are more empowered with their health and decision-making within their households. #Digitalconnectivity can also bolster social connectedness and exchange between communities, and alleviate the impacts of #poverty.
