Fields of Research
The ifb’s research projects are as diverse as family life and families themselves: They range from the prenatal phase to the living situation in an older age, from childlessness to ‘large’ families, from variations of family life up to the different patterns of living together within families.
The topics on which researchers at the ifb have been working over a longer period of time are bundled in the fields of research:
- Family Reporting
The current social and economic situation of families in Bavaria in the context of long-term developments
- Needs, education and counselling of families and professional practice
How, by whom and with what can families be supported and empowered, both preventively and in the face of existing pressures
- Everyday life and wellbeing of families
Structures, normative framework conditions and changes in the everyday life of families in Germany and in international comparison
