[29. 7. 2022] In this issue we cover the Council’s conclusions on the EU strategy on the rights of the child and the European accessibility act entering into force. We also refer to a common statement on the Council’s conclusions by several children’s and human rights organisations. As usual we also update you on family and social policy news from the European countries and recommend interesting publications and events.

[21. 7. 2022] Although great progress has been made in migration research in recent decades, there are still unanswered questions regarding transnational, intergenerational support relationships. The particular difficulties faced by older people in need of care and their relatives in transnational family relationships are rarely discussed in care and family policy contexts. Furthermore, there are deficits in both knowledge and implementation with regard to the needs-based design of welfare state support services for transnational families with (grand)parents in need of help and care.

[13. 7. 2022] The June issue of EuropaNews was published today. We inform about the current state of the EU Child Guarantee's implementation, activities on occasion of the International Plan of Action on Ageing's 20th anniversary and other family and social policy news. We also recommend interesting publications and events. Unfortunately, EuropaNews is available in German only.
