Discussion Paper:<\/em>
\nFamily diversity and its challenges for policy-makers in Europe<\/span><\/h4>\n

The aim of this discussion paper is to provide up-to-date empirical evidence and policy recommendations related to family issues in Europe. The content presented is based on the main findings of the large-scale EU Seventh Framework project – Changing families and sustainable societies: Policy contexts and diversity over the life course and across generations (FamiliesAndSocieties). From February 2013 until January 2017, the consortium brought together a total of 25 leading universities and research institutes from 15 European countries, three transnational civil society actors and a large number of national and international stakeholders. <\/em> Read more<\/span><\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Policy Brief:<\/em>
\nVulnerability in Times of Family Diversity
\n\u2013 A Practitioners\u2019 View <\/span><\/h4>\n

Key messages:
\n\u2022Practitioners can provide valuable insights into the situation of today\u2019s vulnerable families and help delineate areas where policy interventions are essential.
\n\u2022No family configuration inevitably leads to vulnerability, but some are more \u201cat risk\u201d than others. Decisive for family wellbeing is the ability to combine family life with paid employment.
\n\u2022From the practitioners\u2019 perspective, policy measures to support families in need and to prevent the \u201creproduction of vulnerability\u201d from one generation to another should focus particularly on education and the reconciliation of family and working life.<\/em> Read more<\/span><\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

European Policy Brief:<\/em>
\nIntergenerational Linkages in the Family:
\nHow Policies Shape the Organisation of Caring and
\nFinancial Supports for Family Members <\/span><\/h4>\n

This policy brief highlights recent research findings from the project FamiliesAndSocieties on the role of laws and policies in shaping gendered interdependencies in families; the way the \u201csandwich generation\u201d (those who are likely to raise a child or a grandchild and care for parents at the same time) cares for older parents across countries; transfers in Europe from ageing parents to adult children and vice versa; and, the extent to which the financial crisis has affected intergenerational patterns of family support across households. The brief also presents suggestions for policy interventions that can be derived from the findings.<\/em> Read more<\/span><\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
