FAMILY life under special conditions

Social modernization processes confront families with particular challenges. At the ZFG, these challenges are mainly examined through various projects, for example the impact of professional mobility on partnership and marriage. A further project concerning step families deals with changing family forms and focuses on prevention and coping strategies.

In addition to scientific analysis, the aim is always to provide approaches for practical application.
