Individual Life Cycles And Family Cycles. A Comparison Of Perspectives In Yugoslavia, Joel Halpern

Emeritus Faculty Author Gallery

This paper seeks to relate changing individual life cycles to changing cycles of family development. My data refer specifically to Yugoslavia (although it is hoped that some of the points made will have more general applicability). Within Yugoslavia primary reference is to a village in central Serbia which I have studied intermittently over the past twenty years, but comparative data will be presented from other regions as well.
