- Abstract
- This report presents the analysis of the empirical research conducted in the UK for Work Package 4 of the rEUsilience project. It outlines the methodological approach taken to data collection and analysis and presents the findings of the empirical work undertaken. The report’s underpinning evidence was obtained through seven focus groups conducted with 50 members of families in different parts of England and Scotland between January and April 2023. The focus of the research was on family-related risks and so the participant families were chosen because of potential or actual difficulties that they might have in responding to labour market and income risks when caring for children and/or other adults. The participants were drawn, therefore, from families on a low income, lone-parent families, families living in a rural area, families from a migrant background and families containing an unpaid care-giver to someone with significant health or disability-related needs. The evidence was analysed using thematic analysis. The study provides deep insights into the challenges facing these and other families and the resources people mobilise to overcome the pressures they face and their views on how they can be better supported.
