Families in transition : social workers’ understanding of 'family' in child welfare work - an international research approach

• The postmodern family pattern discourse is about individualisation and care. Through globalisation, the closed family system is being dissolved, and a plurality of cohabitation alternatives is emerging. On a global level, transnational families are keeping proximity through cross-border networking. Patterns of traditional patriarchy are challenged through institutionalised individualisation and gender discourse. Care of children and care of the elderly become an institutionalised responsibility.
