When situated in the wider European context, 'the Irish family' has
undergone a process of profound transformation and rapid change in
very recent decades. Recent data cites a significant increase in
one parent households and a high non-marital birth rate for
instance alongside the emergence of cohabitation, divorce, same sex
families and reconstituted families. At the same time, the majority
of children in Ireland still live in a two-parent family based on
marriage and the divorce rate in Ireland is comparatively lower
than other European countries. 21st century family life is, in
reality, characterised by continuity and change in the Irish
context. This book seeks to understand, interpret and theorise
family life in Ireland by providing a detailed analysis of
historical change, demographic trends, fertility and reproduction,
marriage, separation and divorce, sexualities, children and young
people, class, gender, motherhood, intergenerational relations,
grandparents, ethnicity, globalisation, technology and family
practices. A comprehensive analysis of key developments and trends
over the course of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries is
provided.
