Unfolding unequal life courses within diverse families in aging societies

The Einstein Center Population Diversity (ECPD) – Unfolding unequal life courses within diverse families in aging societies – is an interdisciplinary research hub based in Berlin, Germany. The research is carried out by a consortium of seven partner sites that will study the prerequisites and consequences of increasing population diversity for social inequality and health disparities. The specific focus will be on the growing diversity of families within the context of healthy aging, including changing conceptions and boundaries of the family itself.

Our Research

Family Diversity and Inequality in Aging Societies

European societies are becoming more heterogeneous and more diverse due to a variety of trends, including population aging, increasing migration flows, as well as a diversification of work, care, and relationship arrangements. In many ways, these trends occur and materialize in families and social relationships, possibly changing the very nature and accepted definitions of what constitutes a ‘family’.
