The future begins in the family: a very personal contribution to the reconciliation debate
Families are increasingly taking over what should actually be provided by the welfare state. Whether it's educational equality for children, equal parenthood or ageing with dignity: financial means, origin and family background are already determining life chances. The consequences of staff shortages and educational shortages are minimised by politicians. But with individualised care concepts, modern family structures and the reawakening of the extended family, Ana Hoffmeister shows us ways of meeting these challenges. She takes us on a journey to different life models and designs and proposes concrete and practical solutions for how we could live together in the future.
"The upbringing of a child begins about sixty years or two generations before it is born. Because nothing determines our lives as much as the family we grow up in." Ana Hoffmeister
