Book - Report

Subtitle:literature review
In this report, we review literature on the effects of family forms and dynamics on childrens well-being. We focus on European studies, and cover five themes, namely the effects of various family forms (and separation and step-parenthood in particular) on childrens life chances, whether the effects are causal, the role of parenting and social relationships, heterogeneity of the effects, and variation in the effects over time and across countries.
