EnglishPopulation ageing is posing increasingly similar challenges to the societies on the two shores of the Mediterranean, where family remains the main welfare agency. The socio-demographic and ethnographic evidence surveyed in this article shows that while old forms of relatedness like coresidence in extended families still play a role, they are being complemented by coping strategies in which a familistic ideology favours the “extension” of families through new forms of relatedness ranging from close residential proximity between children and parents to live-in home care where domesticity may catalyze kinning processes between elders and their caregivers.

| Abstract: | Population ageing is posing increasingly similar challenges to the societies on the two shores of the Mediterranean, where family remains the main welfare agency. The socio-demographic and ethnographic evidence surveyed in this article shows that while old forms of relatedness like coresidence in extended families still play a role, they are being complemented by coping strategies in which a familistic ideology favours the “extension” of families through new forms of relatedness ranging from close residential proximity between children and parents to live-in home care where domesticity may catalyze kinning processes between elders and their caregivers. |
