This book analyses how turbulence is interwoven into the everyday life of families with children, thus becoming personal and intimate. Chapter authors use empirical data to highlight the contextual and relational nature of both global and local challenges affecting families, discussing complex dynamics across health, work and the environment.

Presenting insights based on cutting-edge research, contributing authors examine how diverse disruptions, which often intersect, are lived and experienced by parents and children. They cover important issues including poverty, Covid-19, working life and climate change. Chapters include micro-level explorations, focusing on accounts of turbulence within single country contexts, as well as macro-level analysis, concentrating on cross-country differences where welfare states, work and everyday family life intersect. They investigate how institutional contexts and macro-level changes influence the micro-level within the household.

Families with Children in a Turbulent Era is an invaluable resource for students and researchers across a wide range of social sciences, including comparative social policy, education, social psychology, social work and family, gender and labour market studies. It is also a thought-provoking read for professionals and policymakers at the local, national and international level, as well as education and social policy administrators.
