Family Trends: British families since the 1950s

Family Trends (2010) charts the dramatic changes in UK family life over the past four decades – and anticipates further radical shifts in these roles in the decade ahead. This title predicts that fathers’ lives are set to alter over the next decade. Shifting attitudes among fathers, mothers’ increased engagement in the labour market and impacts of the UK’s economic downturn suggest that the time fathers spend with their children will continue to increase.
