Methodology

The EUROFAMCARE project consists of several major parts. National Surveys (NASUR) and a Trans-European Survey Report (TEUSURE) operate on the micro-level of concrete experiences of family care. Data collection and analysis are done empirically.

National Background Reports (NABARE) and a Pan-European Background Report (PEUBARE) cover the macro-level of national and European policies and their implications. Data collection is predominantly done through secondary analyses.

Both the micro-level and the macro-level activities feed into a research action on the meso-level, i.e. the level of regional particularities, local interaction and interdependency between families and services, local authorities etc. (REACT). The study is complemented by a Socio-economic Evaluation (ECO) and a European Policy Analysis.

NASUR

NASUR = National In-Depth Surveys in six core countries (Germany, Greece, Italy, Poland, Sweden and United Kingdom)
