Regulating Marriage and Cohabitation: Changing Family Values and Policies in Europe and North America - an Introductory Critique
11 Pages Posted: 4 Jul 2004
Abstract
The inspiration for this special issue came from our observation that the British and American approaches to family policy in general, and to marriage and cohabitation in particular, set them apart from their closest neighbors in Europe and North America, respectively. While certain demographic trends can be observed across the Western world, the response of Britain and the United States to such trends differs significantly from that of other jurisdictions in terms of family policy.
