AáFINANCIAL TIMESáANDáTHE SPECTATORáBOOK OF THE YEARâÇÖImportantâÇÖáFinancial TimesâÇÖSerious and thought-provokingâÇÖáThe CriticâÇÖBraveâÇÖ Richard ReevesFamily life has changed dramatically over the past 60 years.Greater choice and autonomy, especially for women, and a more equal domestic sphereáhave brought great gains for human freedom. However, argues David Goodhart, there have beenálosses and unintended consequencesátoo -áin familyáinstability,áchildrenâÇÖs declining mental health,áand the ever-rising demands onáthe welfare state and social care system. Sharply falling birthrates also present majoráchallenges.For many people, especially in the bottom half of the income spectrum, the costsáare now too high.áThe Care Dilemmaáargues that we need a new policy settlement that supports gender equality while also recognising the importance of stable families and community life, and that sees having children as a public as well as private good.
