1) I talked about how some familes are more likely headed by women
(50% of lone parent afro-caribbean families)
2. Mentioned impact of feminism, opting for different family types (not sure if it was right)
Then mentioned expense of marriage in society today (average wedding costs £15,000 + )
3. 1) Increased expenses invested in public services (transport - buses) etc might be a trend
2) Increased retirement age, people living longer.. proffessional jobs)
3) Support from family may be needed financial/economic linked to a trend of a rise in extended families
(not sure if this is right :/)
4. For the childhood essay, talked about how childhood is a relatively new concept, used aries to show how responsibilities in the past burdened children resulting in their experiences not to be as fulfilling.
criticised the extent of this using polluck.
then talked about how legal, economic, social, Lower IMR etc has led to the position of children becomming more values/ protected -> linked to Pilcher and (children as a seperate stage of life) their experiences are more valued etc.
Then mentioned how children's experiences varies depending on culture. (1/3 of children absolute poverty)
then talked about toxic childhood and palmer (underage pregnancies) linked to experiences being the same as adulthood. then linked this to postman and how it could be said to be dissappearing
