The future of families to 2030: A synthesis report
OECD, 2011, 51 p.
The family landscape in OECD countries has changed enormously over the last few decades. The extended family has all but disappeared in many places, and the traditional family the married couple with children is much less widespread than it used to be. Of course, this has a lot to do with other things that have been happening in society divorce rates have been rising, as has the number of cohabiting couples and couples "living together apart", and single parenthood and same-sex partnerships have increased too. Many more women have taken up work, adolescents spend longer in education, and elderly family members live longer and, frequently, alone.
