 Obiettivo del progetto (Objective)

'The overall objective of the planned FAMILYPLATFORM is to elaborate a focussed research agenda that will address fundamental research issues and key policy questions for future research and family policies in Europe. Therefore, the platform will match three relevant perspectives: The perspective of the scientific community, the perspective of European families represented by important stakeholders such as family and children`s rights associations, and the perspective of policy makers and social partners. The FAMILYPLATFORM will focus on four areas: 1.Catching up with the current state of family research and elaboration of significant trends, differences between countries, gaps and methodological problems of existing research on families. Therefore a wide range of existential fields of family life and family policy will be taken into consideration. 2. A critical review of existing research from the perspective of a wide range of stakeholder representatives such as family associations, children`s right associations and policy makers and social partners, 3.Generating key policy questions for future European policy and research issues and tools focussed on “well being of families” as key concept in European policy, 4.Working out a research agenda with fundamental research issues, research areas and tasks of long-term studies, methodological tools based on step 1-3. The FAMILYPLATFORM offers a wide variety of forums: Conferences with debates to certain topics, workshops and future scenarios with defined tasks, focus groups for opinion formation, and discussion forums on the internet platform. In order to build a consensus, there will be special techniques of moderation. The FAMILYPLATFORM will involve a wide range of stakeholders from an early state of the project. The consortium covers well known European experts on applied research for families and family policies in Europe and one important confederation of family organisations in Europe.'

Introduzione (Teaser)

Today's social trends and developments are changing how families function, prompting the need for more in-depth research and better informed polices to enhance family well-being.

Descrizione progetto (Article)

Modern values, rapidly ageing populations and a shift in priorities are all changing our fundamental understanding of the European family. Current research on family well-being is necessary to redefine policies in this respect and secure a better future for European citizens. The aim of the EU-funded project 'Social platform on research for families and family policies' (FAMILYPLATFORM) was to identify the social challenges and explore their effect on the family unit.

Establishing a social platform in conjunction with various stakeholders and policymakers, the project sought to reconcile the perspectives of different social groups to map key trends and challenges facing families. It identified knowledge gaps and research needs on the topic, providing important data on family life and family policies across Europe.

Through a series of workshops, the project team investigated the impact of key societal trends on family life, promoting valuable exchanges among stakeholders and researchers. Specific topics investigated included providing care for family members, management of everyday family life, migration, mobility, inequality and family life changes. FAMILYPLATFORM also looked at how new media and information technologies shape family life and behaviour, including risks and new opportunities linked to the development of communication.

After bringing family research up to date and generating key policy questions to upgrade policymaking, the project articulated a research agenda for the future. Project outcomes included comprehensive field reports on several important family topics from social services to education. FAMILYPLATFORM also organised a congress, workshop and conferences with focus groups that investigated and reviewed the project's results, in addition to launching an online platform for discussion.

Overall, the project is expected to show how national disparities in family policies can be evaluated in the long run. It will help stakeholders in policy and research understand the needs and desires of families, encouraging the implementation of family-relevant policies. From living environments and social welfare to state policies and social equality, European families can look forward to better policies and an enhanced quality of life in the future.
