The course aims to give the students critical tools for reading and interpretation of the relationship between families and social policies. In a mediterranean model of welfare system, which is anchored and has played on the family as a private producer of goods and services of 'public importance' (with a strong impact on the level of welfare of the community), the trends of change in families change their social role.
