The family stands in a crucial, central position. Of all society's institutions, it is the one that matters the most. An individual's entire life is affected by what the family manages to invest in that person, or indeed fails to provide. This book examines the diverse forms and functions of the family. The changes in its role and structure in today's world are explored, and positive initiatives to strengthen the family are highlighted. By looking at the relationships and responsibilities of its members - children, women, men, young and old, sick and disabled - the book presents an international perspective of the family as a unit and an interacting system. This reference should be a source of ideas for all interested in the future of the family and society. Dr Jo Boyden is the author of "Children of the Cities", and co-editor of "Field Director's Handbook".
