Imagine a family as a shock absorber for a person's career; when one person loses a job, the other often steps up to keep the household afloat. This research looks at why some families can handle these bumps while others crash. It identifies the specific tools and policies that help people stay employed and stable during economic shifts.
Companies struggle to maintain productivity when employees face family-related socio-economic shocks. There is a lack of data on how different family structures absorb these risks and which support mechanisms actually work.
A compendium of family risks and resources, a proof-of-concept resilience questionnaire, and policy roadmaps for work-life balance.
If you are a consultancy dealing with high employee turnover due to family crises — this project developed a compendium of risks and resources that helps design better support systems to keep workers in their jobs.
If you are an insurer dealing with unpredictable claims related to socio-economic shocks — this project developed dynamic analyses of risk behavior that can refine how you predict family-level financial vulnerability.
If you are a local government dealing with inefficient welfare distribution — this project developed a proof-of-concept questionnaire on family resilience to better target support to those who cannot absorb shocks.
Based on available project data, no pricing or implementation costs are provided as this is a research-driven project.
The project is currently at a research and proof-of-concept stage, focusing on data analysis and policy roadmaps rather than industrial scaling.
Based on available project data, there is no mention of patents or specific licensing terms for the compendium or questionnaire.
The project provides policy case reports and roadmaps for implementation regarding income support, care, and work-life balance policies.
The project period runs from 2022-09-01 to 2025-08-31, with results intended to inform future policy roadmaps.
The consortium is heavily academic, consisting of 6 universities and 1 other organization across 6 countries. With a 0% industry ratio, the project is focused on evidence generation and policy influence rather than immediate commercial product development.
