项目摘要

This project aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the trends, inequalities, and consequences of family complexity (e.g., divorce, repartnering, stepfamilies) across children's lives in Europe. Family change not only impacts adults, but it also has major implications for the lives of children who live in these families. Surprisingly, relatively little research has investigated children's experiences of family change across Europe. We know little about children's experiences of family complexity across their lives, whether their experiences differ by socio-economic background and across countries, the reasons behind cross-national differences, the consequences of increasing family complexity for children's lives across Europe, and the potential consequences of family change for children of the future. This project fills these gaps by taking a novel, child-centred approach and following the lives of European children as they get older using a combination of advanced longitudinal methods, machine learning, and simulation on a large number of European datasets.The objectives are:1. To understand trends in family complexity across the life courses of children in Europe2. To identify inequalities in the trends in family complexity across children's life courses in Europe3. To understand the consequences of family complexity for multiple domains of children's lives4. To explore whether and how multiple domains of children's lives are interrelated5. To develop an approach to predict family complexity in the life courses of the children of the futureThrough its innovative approach, this project will fundamentally advance our understanding of family complexity and its consequences for the lives of European children. It has the potential to open up new horizons for the demographic study of inequalities across individuals' lives and for studying childhood inequalities more specifically.

该项目旨在全面了解欧洲儿童生活中家庭复杂性（例如离婚、重新伴侣、继家庭）的趋势、不平等和后果。家庭变化不仅影响成年人，还对生活在这些家庭中的儿童的生活产生重大影响。令人惊讶的是，调查整个欧洲儿童家庭变化经历的研究相对较少。我们对儿童一生中经历的家庭复杂性知之甚少，他们的经历是否因社会经济背景和国家不同而有所不同，跨国差异背后的原因，家庭复杂性增加对整个欧洲儿童生活的影响以及潜在的后果为了未来孩子的家庭改变。该项目通过采用一种新颖的、以儿童为中心的方法，并结合先进的纵向方法、机器学习和对大量欧洲数据集的模拟来跟踪欧洲儿童随着年龄增长的生活，从而填补了这些空白。目标是： 1.了解欧洲儿童一生中家庭复杂性的趋势2。确定欧洲儿童生命历程中家庭复杂性趋势的不平等3。了解家庭复杂性对儿童生活多个领域的影响4。探讨儿童生活的多个领域是否以及如何相互关联5。开发一种方法来预测未来儿童生命历程中的家庭复杂性。通过其创新方法，该项目将从根本上增进我们对家庭复杂性及其对欧洲儿童生活的影响的理解。它有可能为个人生活中不平等的人口研究以及更具体地研究儿童不平等开辟新的视野。
