The ZFG conducts research projects on the topic of the "Compatibility of Work and Family". For example, on behalf of the
German Bishops' Conference the family-friendly measures in the German (arch)bishoprics were examined. Hence the satisfaction of employees with these measures, satisfaction with the employer and commitment (loyalty to the employer) were also surveyed.
The family education studies that the ZFG has conducted for various municipalities also play a role in this field of research.
