In the 21st century, global demographics are rapidly changing, with a higher population of middle-aged people than ever before. As the 'sandwich' generation, people in midlife often experience significant work and intergenerational caring responsibilities, yet they are the subject of relatively little research.

This short, accessible book redresses the balance in offering a geographical approach to how people embody and claim space in midlife while analysing the influences of gender, class and location. The author considers midlife in varying socio-cultural and geographical contexts, viewed through the lens of the global neoliberal shift.

Reviews for Midlife Geographies: Changing Lifecourses across Generations, Spaces and Time

“This engaging and highly readable book provides important insights into midlife from citizens of the UK, Finland and Latvia.” Irene Hardill, Northumbria University “Stunningly original and also deeply personal, Aija Lulle’s feminist-inspired exploration of the geographies of the midlife generation, interposed between youth and older-age, opens up new perspectives on global demography.” Russell King, University of Sussex
