Welcome to the State of Families project, a groundbreaking initiative launched by the journal Marriage and Family Review to provide up-to-date information and analysis on the state of families around the world. Our goal is to inform public discourse and policy decisions about families by presenting research-based insights and analyses on family trends and issues.
Through the State of Families project, we have compiled a comprehensive set of reports that cover a wide range of topics related to families, including marriage, divorce, parenting, caregiving, and more.
Teams of expert researchers and scholars have conducted extensive analyses of family trends and issues, drawing on data from a variety of sources and employing a range of research methods. We have also solicited contributions from leading family scholars around the world, ensuring that our resources reflect diverse perspectives and experiences.
Whether you’re a researcher, a policymaker, or a member of the public interested in learning more about families, we invite you to explore the State of Families project and engage with our resources. By staying informed about the latest research and trends in family life, we can all work together to support strong, healthy families around the world.
