The project aims to understand the complexity of children’s family lives. You will be responsible for analysing secondary data sources to assess how family structure influences adult and child wellbeing.
The focus of the study is to understand how changing family structure, including the growth step-families and in families where parents share care, interacts with the social welfare and child maintenance systems to affect access to resources.
We are also advertising a 'Fixed Term 12-month Research Associate' position on the same project under vacancy reference ACAD107785.
