Description:

The project aimed to systematically describe the lives, specific needs and problems of families with school-age and adolescent children. At this stage of the family cycle, families face increasing demands in terms of the financial and organisational provision of their children’s education and new challenges emerge for both parents and the wider family with concern to the upbringing of children and their preparation for future life accompanied by new problems concerning family and partnership relationships, etc., often at a time when there is a need to care for decreasingly self-sufficient grandparents.
