Evidence review seminar 2014


Background

The shape of families in Scotland is changing - or so people say. What is the reality? This seminar launched the evidence response that PAS commissioned from the Evidence Request Bank. Our question was 'How have family households in Scotland changed over 2001-2011?'


Research findings

The findings cover: households and families, family formation and dissolution, children in need of care, families affected by disability, and parental working patterns.


Ministerial response


Panel response

This section summarises responses from panel members to the evidence review, and the findings they considered significant.


Roundtable discussions

Participants discussed questions from the evidence response under the themes: households and families, family formation and dissolution, children in need of care, families affected by disability, and parental working patterns.


Seminar conclusions

Like any evidence review or research, it raises as many questions as answers: family shape is changing but are we asking the right questions?


Appendix: Discussion notes

Flip chart notes from roundtable discussions: households and families: different family types; relationships: family formation and dissolution; parental working patterns; evidence gaps: what do we want/need to know?
