Family Policy in Council of Europe member states
Two expert reports commissioned by the Committee of Experts on Social Policy for Families and Children
June 2009
Council of Europe
What do Council of Europe member states do to protect and support families in a constantly changing environment? The two reports published in this volume give an overview of actual developments and challenges in the field of family policy in 39 European countries.
The first report provides a comparative analysis of extensive data collected from member states through a questionnaire. The second report complements it with a range of literature-based in-depth studies on the developments and dynamics of family policy in a smaller number of Council of Europe member states.
