international level on the concrete condition of families in different social,
cultural and economic contexts.
The survey will take place over a period of 3 years (2019-2021) and will
be marked by the creation of two reports on family and relational poverty and
family and economic poverty, fundamental guidelines that will guide all
research on the subject.
