Abstract

This article presents various family research reports from Australia. The Australian Divorce Transitions Project examines the superannuation assets of divorcing couples. The paper concentrates in particular on the growing importance of superannuation as a component of family wealth,the uneven distribution of superannuation entitlements between men and women, and the limits to the powers of the Family Court in dealing directly with superannuation assets. The paper reports findings from the Australian Divorce Transitions Project: data concerning the incidence of superannuation amongst the couples surveyed; how much couples knew about their own and their partner's superannuation; the absolute and relative importance of superannuation as a family asset and the way in which superannuation was taken into account, if at all, on divorce. Working Paper No.19 examines meanings and expectations of family life and support for people aged 50 to 70, focusing on social relations between generations. Age cohorts and family life stage are not synchronous, so this age group represents a broad range of family and personal change, with conflicting roles and priori- ties in accommodating needs of both younger and older generation family members.
