Book Description
Ils ont vécu les Trente Glorieuses, gouté aux délices de la libération sexuelle, bien mené leur barque, installé leur pouvoir... et les voilà aujourd'hui quinquagénaires. Vivent-ils ce nouvel âge comme une menace ? Entre indifférence, déni et fuite, les hommes semblent être globalement peu affectés par le temps. Ignorant l'horloge biologique qui bouleverse tant les femmes, ils peuvent vieillir, eux, en toute sérénité, sans avoir à repenser leur copie... Non seulement leur identité n'est pas menacée par les ans, mais ils jouissent socialement d'une grande tolérance à l'égard de leur vieillissement, voire d'une valorisation... Sauf lorsque la confrontation avec le temps surgit, sans crier gare, d'un champ professionnel dont ils tiraient jusque-là statut, reconnaissance et satisfaction. Exclus pour cause d'obsolescence, ils risquent alors d'avoir à entreprendre une véritable reconstruction identitaire. Bien loin d'être un règlement de comptes, ce livre qui analyse le vieillissement masculin à la lumière de la différence des sexes, devrait permettre aux uns et aux autres de mieux se comprendre. Pour mieux vieillir ensemble ?

Book Description
The baby boomers have always been seen as a deeply symbolic generation - born amid a surge of post-war optimism and reaching adulthood in the 1960s. For many of them, challenging received wisdom is deeply embedded in their own self-image. But one problem in thinking about British baby boomers is that very little original research has addressed them directly. This report takes on the challenge of exploring the hopes and fears of a group of people who may help to reshape the meaning of 'old age'. By talking directly to them in depth, we have tested assumptions about how age, sex, marital status and ethnicity impact on the values of British baby boomers. We have also investigated their attitudes to dying, which if they have their way is likely to become the ultimate consumer service. Some firms are already waking up to the fact that, while youth culture might be 'cool', it is far cooler to profit from the well-heeled baby boomers. But as the baby boomers continue to march towards old age, the financial clout they wield will be less important than the new ways in which they will want to spend their money. The combination of wealth, health and longer life gives them a new phase of life. Baby boomers want to 'have their time again', by chasing personal fulfilment free from the pressures of overwork and childrearing. From middle-aged men and women on motorbikes to new beauty products and treatments and music retailing, the dominance of baby boomers can only grow. This project was produced in partnership with Centrica, the principal funder, and the Saga group.

Book Description
This book traces the history of the baby-boomers, beginning with an explanation of the cause of the post-war baby boom and ending with the contemporary concerns of ageing boomers. It shows how the baby-boomers challenged traditional family attitudes and adopted new lifestyles in the 1960s and 1970s. Drawing on 90 interviews conducted with baby boomers living in London and Paris, the book demonstrates how their aspirations for leisure and consumption converged with family responsibilities and obligations. It shows how the baby boomers emerged from an authoritative upbringing to challenge some of the traditional assumptions of the family, such as marriage and cohabitation. The rise of feminism led by the baby-boomers is examined, together with its impact on family forms and structures. The book shows how women’s trajectories veered between the two extremes of family and employment, swerving between the models of stay-at-home mother and working woman. It demonstrates how new family configurations such as solo parenting, and recomposed families were adopted by the baby boomers. Today, as they enter into retirement, the baby-boomers remain closely involved in the lives of their children and parents, although relationships with elderly parents are maintained primarily through a sense of duty and obligation. The book concludes that the baby boomers have both been influenced by and actors to the changes and transformations that have occurred to family life. They reconciled and continue to reconcile, individualism with family obligations. As grandparents often with an ageing parent still alive, the baby boomers wish to keep the independence that has been the hallmark of their generation whilst not abandoning family life.
