The publication “Changing Families, Complex Lives: Evidence from the Generations and Gender Programme” explores key demographic and social trends across Europe using data from the Generations and Gender Survey. It addresses topics such as evolving family constellations, gender roles, fertility decisions, and intergenerational relationships. The report highlights cross-national variations in family dynamics, such as cohabitation, re-partnering after divorce, and the impact of grandparental childcare on female labor force participation. It emphasizes the critical role of policy and social support in shaping family trajectories and underscores the importance of longitudinal, cross-national data for understanding these complex patterns.
