Wall, Karin; Leitão, Mafalda; Atalaia, Susana; Cunha, VanessaNum contexto de crise económica agravaram-se as condições de vida das famílias portuguesas. Dados do Inquérito às Condições de Vida e Rendimento (INE, EU- SILC 2013) indicam que 18,7% da população portuguesa (cerca de dois milhões de pessoas) estava em risco de pobreza em 2012, mais 0,8 p.p. do que em 2011 (17,9%). A taxa de risco de pobreza era mais elevada nos menores de 18 anos (24,4%), nas famílias monoparentais (33,1%), nas famílias com duas (19,8%) ou três e mais crianças (40,4%) e nos desempregados (40,2%).

- Parental Leave policies, gender equity and family well being in Europe: a comparative perspectivePublication . Wall, Karin; Escobedo, AnnaLeave policies and the protection of working parents' rights have changed significantly in Europe during the last few decades. While policies introduced immediately after World War II were largely based on a male-breadwinner model, the post-1970s policies have recognised the increase in maternal employment, the growing diversity of work/family arrangements and working parents' needs for state support in caring for young children. Paid maternity leave and paid or unpaid parental leave are now available throughout Europe - Western, Central and Eastern - and policy developments have encouraged more gender-neutral leaves and longer periods of paid leave (Deven and Moss 2005).

- Changing meanings of family in personal relationshipsPublication . Wall, Karin; Gouveia, RitaPersonal relationships are today less dependent on marriage and blood ties, with commitments going far beyond the nuclear co-resident family to include kin, non-kin and ex-kin. The aim of this article is to examine the meanings of family bonds by exploring the changing boundaries between kinship ties and a wider array of affinities, in a Southern European country with a specific pathway (Portugal). The authors begin by analysing the ties which individuals consider as ‘family’ within their personal networks and describe the main types of family configurations. They then examine the determinants of including non-kin as ‘family’ and excluding kin from the family network. Findings reveal the salience of kinship ties, as well as greater fluidity in the social construction of family bonds, in particular through friendship. Structural, life stage and family variables are shaping factors, but relational effects, linked to the quality of the tie, are of particular importance.
