Originally published in 1989, this cross-national study
investigates the role and pattern of family life in fourteen
countries in contemporary Europe. Providing a wealth of information
on European families, it is a key source for anyone wishing to
understand the changes in the family at that time. The contributors
argue that, far from withering away, the family remained a very
important social unit which continued to have considerable
influence on other social institutions such as the state and the
labour market. The central theme is the interrelation between
changes in production and working life on one hand, and changes in
family life and reproduction on the other. The contributors focus
on the pressures and contradictions produced by the division of
functions between family and work, and on problems which have
arisen as a consequence of the sometimes incompatible and even
conflicting demands of the two institutions. They show that the
evolution of the nuclear family model in Europe had led to a great
diversity of family patterns, and conclude that the family in
modern European societies still had a contribution to make which no
other institution could provide.
