Editors Brynin (sociology, U. of Essex), Ermisch (economics, U. of Essex) and 13 co-contributors explore changing social norms, the evolution of relationships, and relationship dynamics. The collected essays draw from numerous studies, including the ongoing British Household Panel Study, which is based on annual interviews of roughly 10,000 adults. Topics include the social significance of relationships, leaving home, the social significance of homogamy, young child-parent relationships, early labor market experience and the timing of family formation, and unemployment and the dissolution of partnerships.
