The Development of Family Services: A Precondition for Promoting Economic Growth and Social Development in Europe

Jeanne Fagnani

Résumé

Despite profound changes in living arrangements, families continue to play a crucial role in maintaining social cohesion . Now more than ever, within a context of economic uncertainty and public budgetary constraints, providing families with a wide range of services is essential to ensure they can meet the challenges ahead. To start I identify some future challenges and key drivers of change in the domain of family-service supports. In the second part of the paper, after taking stock of family services in the EU, I place emphasis on some of the best practices in the domain throughout Europe. To conclude I make a good case for adopting a more holistic and integrated approach to family services as a way to meet the emerging needs of Europe's citizens.
