Research proposal: I. Purposes of this Research In summary this research will provide a model for the investigation of kinship, demographic and socio-economic systems in an open systems framework. The impact of changes in these systems on the individual life cycle then follows as the village roles change not only qualitatively - as in the appearance of new occupations, but also quantitatively in the duration of role incumbancy for the individual. II. Previous Research III. Methodological Considerations

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

Anthropology Department Faculty Publication Series

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.
