RESEARCH

JANUARY/FEBRUARY 2005
Documenting change in Australian families


A new book by La Trobe University Head of Sociology, Professor David de Vaus, provides a snapshot and valuable information on trends in Australian family life during the last 30 years.


Titled Diversity and Change in Australian Families: Statistical Profiles (see main story), it provides a comprehensive picture of life in Australia. Topics cover family and household types; marriage; fertility; relationship breakdown; spending; time use; caring for children, older people and those with disabilities; and work.

Launching the book late last year, Senator Kay Patterson, Minister for Family and Community Services, said it will prove invaluable to Australia's government, community, welfare, business and academic sectors.
