Human Growth and Development / Unit 14 HGD 1974 short lesson, about 20 seconds
Households at Midlife
Captions available
The idea
Midlife households vary widely: single adults, multigenerational homes, blended families, same-sex parents and empty nests, and most adults are neutral or positive about the variety.
In practice
One street with a couple whose children have left, a grandmother raising a grandson, and a single man living alone.
Where people slip
Household form tells little on its own about well-being, as earlier units showed for children.
