Is there a future for the family?

Gäran Therborn

Public Policy Review, 2007, vol. 14, issue 1, 41-46

Abstract: In the wake of the conservative policy review paper Breakdown Britain, which argued that government should financially promote marriage to tackle‘moral decline’, and an announcement from the Liberal Democrats that they too would use the tax and benefit system to ‘encourage marriage’, the premier sociologist of the family, Göran Therborn, unpicks the myth of the modern family.
