SCARR Conference on Risk in Societal and Inter-Generational Perspective
Context
The transition to Risk Society has often been understood in terms of changes that increase uncertainty in people's lives. Relatively little attention has been paid to the differences between social and ethnic groups or between different generations in the way they perceive and communicate about risk and uncertainty. This conference breaks new ground by presenting and discussing recent empirical work that focuses on the differences between social groups and between generations in risk perception and response in an international context. Speakers from Germany, Sweden and the UK will lead sessions that present and review current policy-related research. The findings are relevant to both policy-makers and academics examining issues of risk in relation to employment, family life and health.
