Family in all its aspects Familienbande International experts
provide an overview of the current state-of-the-art of European
family research and outline the multiple formations, structures and
configurations of family in Europe. Four aspects are discussed in
depth: family images, sex/gender roles, globalisation and family
development processes. Influenced by globalisation, European
countries experience processes which still have greatly varying
consequences. Cultural differences, reflected in a range of family
schemes and national family policies, are one reason for the
continued existence of differences in the scope and speed of change
processes. Quite generally, images and concepts of family have
become more heterogeneous and flexible. The flip side of this coin
is that family members are increasingly faced with the challenges
of achieving a satisfactory work-life balance - a task aggravated
by globalisation. We therefore need to ask how family policy can
help families enjoy adequate freedom of action and latitude for
their decision-making. To summarise: a read well worth the effort
for all experts working in family research and family policy.
