In particular, we study how the dynamic transformations in the labour market, caused by technological change, globalisation, development of the green economy or ageing, affect families (e.g. formation of partnerships and their stability, childbearing decisions or family well-being) and how family life influences men’s and women’s position in the dynamically transforming labour markets. We also investigate the role public policies, labour market institutions or social norms play in shaping these interrelationships.

Even though LabFam is established at the Faculty of Economic Sciences, it adopts an interdisciplinary perspective in order to better understand the studied phenomena and seeks to integrate representatives of such disciplines as demography, economics, sociology, political science, psychology or social statistics.
