This paper undertakes an analysis of social policy provision in six European countries from the perspective of resilience and the role of social policy. It considers how policy supports transitions for all parents between care and employment and how policy treats three particular types of family situation that the research identifies as needing extra support: parenting alone, caring for children with a disability or illness, and families with a migrant background.
