Abstract: Spotlights on Contemporary Family Life covers four issues of
cross-cutting importance to families
Structures and forms of families: issues relating to a diversification of families
away from the ‘traditional nuclear family form’ are relatively uncontroversial
from an academic perspective, but much more so for policy makers and family
associations. Chapter 1 provides a thorough overview of the state of contemporary
European families.
Solidarities in families: too often the issue of an ‘ageing society’ is simply
reduced to the problem of over-burdening social care systems, but longevity
also represents opportunities for new kinds of solidarities inside families and
family networks, and new relations between family members – not to mention
the satisfaction felt by people who can continue to live fulfilling and rewarding
lives long after they’re considered ‘elderly’. Chapter 2 gives voice to authors who
identify these new opportunities and challenges.
Demographic change: women are having fewer children and having them
later in life. Having children is now a conscious decision and fertility rates have
declined below the level required to sustain our current populations. At the
same time we witness the ‘greying’ of Europe, which brings with it a whole host
of opportunities and challenges. Chapter 3 raises important issues for policy
makers today.
Volunteering: inspired by family associations who could not survive without
the support of volunteers, this chapter gives an overview of what’s known -
and what isn’t - about volunteering. Coinciding with the European Year of
Volunteering 2011, this chapter takes a timely look at the efforts that families
put into volunteering across Europe and the important benefits that Europe gains
from all of this combined voluntary effort.

Abstract: FAMILYPLATFORM’s aim was to develop and publish a European Research Agenda
for Research on Families and Family Policy, in order to enable policy makers and
others to respond to current and future challenges facing families. Four concrete
steps were taken towards elaborating the Research Agenda:
1. Charting the contemporary field of research on families and family policy in
the EU.
2. Critically reviewing existing research involving a wide range of stakeholders.
3. An innovative exercise to identify future challenges facing families, so as to
highlight future policy issues and develop questions for future research.
4. Bringing together all of the work into a Research Agenda on Families and
Family Wellbeing for Europe.
Each of these areas has a dedicated chapter in this book, presenting the main
results and findings of this work.
More than 120 civil society representatives, policy makers, and scientific experts
were involved in the work of FAMILYPLATFORM. The sharing and negotiating of
sometimes contradictory perspectives and thoughts was an exciting challenge
for everyone involved, resulting in a great deal of shared learning. We hope
that this book passes on some of these rich experiences, thereby improving the
wellbeing of families in Europe through research and policy.; Wellbeing of Families in Future Europe – Challenges for Research
and Policy presents the results of the FAMILYPLATFORM project,

Abstract: This report is the final outcome of FAMILYPLATFORM and the result of the encounter between more than 170 experts and stakeholders from all over Europe and beyond, creating a lively think tank on family issues. It summarises important policy questions, research gaps and research issues that were highlighted during the 18 months of working together closely within FAMILYPLATFORM. A series of societal challenges for families, family‐related policy and research have been identified through the work of FAMILYPLATFORM. Based on these crucial societal challenges, seven important research areas are outlined in this report: 1. Family Policy, 2. Care, 3.
Life Course and Transitions, 4. Doing Family, 5. Migration and Mobility, 6. Inequalities and Insecurities, 7. Media and New Information Technologies.
In each research area vital research questions are identified, combined with general remarks on methodological issues and approaches. Altogether, these challenges, research areas and methodological issues are building a research roadmap for the European Union for the years ahead. The realisation of this research roadmap could help policy makers to meet future societal challenges and to improve the wellbeing of families.2011-07-05T00:00:00ZFamilies - A Summary of the Situation in Europe TodayEuteneuer, MatthiasFarrer, LindenLay, WilliamLiedekerke, Anne-Claire deUhlendorff, Uwehttp://hdl.handle.net/2003/277262016-05-24T07:54:29Z2011-05-10T00:00:00ZTitle: Families - A Summary of the Situation in Europe Today
