Risks, Resources and Inequalities: Increasing Resilience in European Families

How resilient are families in Europe today? How are they affected by labour market changes? What challenges and difficulties are created or exacerbated for families by labour markets in the new working reality? The EU-funded rEUsilience project will answer these questions. It will explore labour market challenges and difficulties and how families respond to them, and also study the policies that contribute to family resilience. Moreover, it will identify the level of risk and socio-economic insecurity faced by families across Europe, their relative resilience capacity and the role of policy. rEUsilience will examine what different families do in situations calling for adaptiveness, and perform pan-European analyses of existing data and new focus group research in six different EU countries.
