Description - Families and Cultural Diversity in Australia by Robyn Hartley
The Australian population is drawn from over 100 different countries, making for great diversity in family life: in patterns of parenting, marriage, kin relationships and responsibilities, child rearing and the part played by older people in families.
What are the critical issues facing these families today? How are family relationships affected?
Familites And Cultural Diversity In Australia surveys the characteristics of family life of key groups: Aboriginal, Anglo-Celtic, Chinese, Filipino, Greek, Italian, Latin American, Lebanese and Vietnamese. It examines the differences between recent and older immigrant groups, the choices families are making in response to changing social and economic environments and how this affects relationships between husbands and wives, parents and children, older people and their adult children.
Families and Cultural Diversity in Australia is an essential reference for anyone working with people from different backgrounds in fields such as Social Work, Health, Education, Law and Government.
