Families and Family Policies in Europe
Author: Linda HantriasPublisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1317891252
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 228
Book Description
The family is currently a controversial topic both within the UK and Europe. While demographic trends seem to suggest that family structures and attitudes within the European Union are converging and that member states are facing similar social problems, their policy responses are very different. This book examines the differences between these national responses and that of the EU as contained in the social chapter. It analyses the key concepts underlying the formulation of family policy and illustrates it with the latest data much of it hitherto unpublished.
Low Fertility, Institutions, and their Policies
Author: Ronald R. RindfussPublisher: Springer
ISBN: 3319329979
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 305
Book Description
This volume examines ten economically advanced countries in Europe and Asia that have experienced different levels of fertility decline. It offers readers a cross-country perspective on the causes and consequences of low birth rates and the different policy responses to this worrying trend. The countries examined are not only diverse geographically, historically, and culturally, but also have different policies and institutions in place. They include six very-low-fertility countries (Austria, Czech Republic, Hungary, Italy, Spain, and Taiwan) and four that have close to replacement-level fertility (United Kingdom, Norway, Canada, and France). Although fertility has gone down in all these countries over the past 50 years, the chapters examine the institutional, policy, and cultural factors that have led some countries to have much lower fertility rates than others. In addition, the final chapter provides a cross-country comparison of individual perceptions about obs tacles to fertility, based on survey data, and government support for families. This broad overview, along with a general introduction, helps put the specific country papers in context. As birth rates continue to decline, there is increasing concern about the fate of social welfare systems, including healthcare and programs for the elderly. This book will help readers to better understand the root causes of such problems with its insightful discussion on how a country’s institutions, policies, and culture shape fertility trends and levels.
Fertility and New Types of Households and Family Formation in Europe

ISBN:
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 192
Book Description
A key social change in recent decades has been the emergence of new types of households and family formation in Europe. Fundamental changes in family structure have had important consequences on the demographic characteristics of Europe's population, and in particular, on fertility. This book presents a theoretical analysis of the relationship between family structure and fertility rates; as well providing a detailed empirical study of trends since 1970 for European countries for which data are available.
