Urban policies are based on assumptions of a “normal household” and what buildings for it should look like. So this research project explored how people feel about children in high-density housing.
We have an ever-increasing number of children and families facing complex challenges and we know next to nothing about who they are and how they are doing.
Men have increased their housework contributions – a nod towards greater gender equality. Yet women still spend twice as much time on housework as men.
We know a lot about why people choose different brands of dishwashing detergent. But when it comes to the processes behind choosing a romantic partner, science knows surprisingly little.
It’s tempting to look back nostagically when thinking about the idea of the “family”, but the evidence shows that it’s strong, functional and flourishing.
