Risks, Resources and Inequalities: Increasing Resilience in European Families

REUsilience解决的问题是一些家庭缺乏适应能力或复原力。背景是劳动力市场的快速变化，家庭是关键的应对机制，缓冲潜在的负面影响，并允许/禁止冒险。但一些家庭无法回应。该项目回答了两个研究问题：劳动力市场在“新工作世界”给家庭带来或加剧了什么挑战和困难，以及家庭如何努力克服这些挑战和困难？政策如何有助于家庭复原力，特别是在包容性、灵活性和互补性方面？为了回答这些问题，rEUsilience考察了不同家庭在需要适应的情况下实际做了什么(例如，需要改变劳动力供应，需要参与培训)，并通过对现有数据的泛欧洲分析和对6个不同国家(BE、ES、HR、PL、SE、英国)的新焦点小组研究，将这一点置于社会和政策背景中。该项目将确定欧洲各地家庭面临的风险和社会经济不安全程度、它们吸收社会经济冲击的相对能力以及政策的作用。该项目由两个支柱组成：一个盘点支柱和一个政策实验室。这些支柱的设计目的是在证据流动和使命方面紧密联系在一起，分享一些方法，并有内在的影响途径。该实验室让公民和专家直接参与政策审查和问题解决，还使用模拟和其他方法对政策解决方案进行路试。这些成果包括：欧洲家庭风险状况简编、对实际风险行为的一系列动态分析、家庭如何看待冒险和工作与护理之间的取舍、对政策的批判性审查、在概念验证阶段采用的关于家庭复原力的问卷、一套政策建议和执行路线图。

The problem that rEUsilience tackles is of lack of adaptive capacities or resilience in some families. The context is of fast-paced changes in labour markets to which families are key responsive mechanisms, cushioning potentially negative impacts and enabling/disabling risk-taking. But some families cannot respond. The project answers 2 research questions: What challenges and difficulties are created or exacerbated for families by labour markets in the ‘new world of work’ and how do families try to overcome them? How do policies contribute to family resilience especially in terms of their inclusiveness, flexibility and complementarity? To answer these questions rEUsilience looks at what different families actually do in situations calling for adaptiveness (e.g., need to change labour supply, need to engage in training) and places this in a social and policy context through both pan-European analyses of existing data and new focus group research in 6 different countries (BE, ES, HR, PL, SE, UK). The project will identify the level of risk and socio-economic insecurity faced by families across Europe, their relative capacity to absorb socio-economic shocks and the role of policy. The project is organised in 2 pillars: a Stocktaking pillar and a Policy Lab. The pillars are designed to closely interlink in terms of evidence flow and mission, to share some methodologies and to have inbuilt pathways to impact. The Lab involves citizens and experts directly in policy review and problem solution and also uses simulations and other methods to road-test policy solutions. Among the outputs are: a compendium of the risk situation of Europe's families, a series of dynamic analyses of actual risk behaviour, accounts from families about how they view risk-taking and trade-offs between work and care, critical reviews of policies, a questionnaire on family resilience taken to proof of concept stage, a set of policy proposals and road maps for their implementation.
