Family Change and Family Policy in Comparative Perspective
Research question/goal:
The project studies family changes and family policies in a long-term comparative view. Results are being published in a series of 5 volumes with 18 country studies and 2 comparative volumes. In addition, a database on family policies in Europe has been developed as a major source for comparative analyses and family policy indicators. The database will be made available to the academic public after the conclusion of the project.
