Change in British Society
5: Between the Generations
Dr A. H. Halsey , Professor of Social and Administrative Studies. Universitv of Oxford
' We seem to have created a children's paradise No age has ever been more child-centred, or gone so far towards making death socially invisible. Yet parental anxiety, exacerbated by marital uncertainty, is endemic. Fathers, and more especially mothers, inhabit a world which takes away their control over, and simultaneously insists on their responsibility for, the fate of their children.'
