Families - A Summary of the Situation in Europe Today

Families - A Summary of the Situation in Europe Today

Based on work charting current scientific knowledge of families in Europe and the Lisbon conference and report, this booklet presents the mass of information gathered so far into manageable chunks of information spread across eight thematic areas.

Numerous reports have been produced by FAMILYPLATFORM, though two documents are particularly relevant for readers wishing to quickly increase their knowledge about issues covered in this publication:

1. Research on Families and Family Policies in Europe: State of the Art, prepared and edited by Marjo Kuronen at the Family Research Centre, University of Jyväskylä;
2. Critical Review of Research on Families and Family Policies in Europe, by Karin Wall, Mafalda Leitão and Vasco Ramos at the Institute of Social Sciences, University of Lisbon.
