Attitudes towards Family Change in Europe

Februar 17, 2010

This empirical population study gives insight not just into demographic changes throughout Europe, but into the attitudes and expectations of citizens towards these changes. The authors deal with subjects such as the motivation of having children, opinions on family and intergeneration changes in value systems or family transformation in post-soviet Eastern Europe.
Furthermore, the acceptance of family policy measures is outlined as well as the anticipated impact of family policies on fertility behaviour among the childless. Opinions on the reconciliation of family and work are analyzed in interrelation to female labour market participation.

This book was funded by the European Commission as part of the DIALOG research project and will especially be useful to policy makers and everyone concerned with population change.
