Vision
The Center for Demography, Family and Health conducts major and policy-supporting studies in the fields of social demography and sociology of the family, well-being and health. We aim to contribute to the understanding of family dynamics across the life course with a specific focus on health, employment, intergenerational solidarity and the impact of policy.
The core themes of family formation and dissolution, the reconciliation of work and family life and the socialization of care are further defined through advanced quantitative and qualitative research methods. Read more here.
