News from IST Key Action II Project - FAMILIES

The FAMILIES project investigates the interactions between eWork and family life. It has looked at different forms of eWorking and four different family types across four EU countries and produced over 100 case summaries. These case summaries provide the first snapshots of work and family life in the context of the eWork era. FAMILIES has also produced reports concerning the research framework used, the results of the family survey, and a set of recommendations for policy makers, employers, trade unions and citizen/family organisations, and for the RTD community. These reports and the case summaries are available on www.families-project.com. A book entitled "Work and Family in the eWork Era" which draws together the lessons learnt throughout the course of this 20-month project will be available in December 2002. Further information and updates are available from the FAMILIES project web site.
