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. The families face increasing difficulties in carrying out their duties of care.

In particular it stands out as the most significant changes of the status of women have changed the forms and family relations. The status of women, in particular what is called the unfinished revolution by Esping-Andersen, is the key to understanding the one hand the growing difficulty of making family and bear children, and on the other how to create a welfare system more fair, efficient and supportive from the fulfillment of women's revolution.
