[ED: Taschenbuch / Paperback], [PU: Springer Springer Netherlands], KURZE BESCHREIBUNG/ANMERKUNGEN: This book surveys methodological and conceptual issues in the comparative analysis of family and well-being in a European perspective. Coverage ranges from theoretical views of children's well-being to the development of specific measures of family well-being. AUSFÜHRLICHERE BESCHREIBUNG: In the international literature there is a broad scope for comparative research on the welfare regime, family change and gender relations, but we have no book that comprehensively collects the main research that has been conducted from the perspective of family well-being. Thus, this volume focuses on the comparative analyse of family and well-being in a European perspective, a dimension which literature has not covered till the present. This book collects the researches done in Europe on family well-being and compares family change and well-being in different institutional and cultural contexts. It takes a deeper look at early evidence of family well-being and presents a compilation of findings from the main researchers on this topic. A broad range of topics is covered from the theorizing of children's well-being to the development of specific measures of family well-being. The book also outlines pivotal methodological and conceptual issues. A distinguished, international group of researchers provide insights into the dynamics of family change and well-being, using indicators as a means to confront new phenomena as well as to bridge data and theory. BUCHBESPRECHUNG: From the book reviews: "The book is structured around four major parts, with a total of 14 chapters. ... This book is highly recommended as required reading for a wide range of quality of life researchers, students as well as members of the government or non-government organizations. It can be taken as a reference book for researchers in this field of study. Its content in qualitative and quantitative data gives the volume a special strength."
