Guide to Accessing the Fragile Families Contract Data Description of the Fragile Families and Child Wellbeing StudyDecember 13th, 2013
The Fragile Families and Child Wellbeing Study (FF) is designed to redress the lack of knowledge of families by providing previously unavailable information about the conditions and capabilities of new unmarried parents, the nature of parents’ relationships, and the factors – including public policies – that encourage or discourage family formation. We, the Center for Research on Child Wellbeing (CRCW), use the term “fragile families” to describe unmarried parents and their children, first to underscore the fact that they are families, and second to highlight the fact that they have high rates of economic and union instability. By gaining a more complete understanding of the lives of unmarried parents, community leaders and policy makers will be able to design programs and policies that more effectively meet their needs and those of their children.
