Exploring disability, family formation and break-up: reviewing the evidence

Abstract

The overall aim of the project is to assess patterns of family formation and change where families include a disabled adult or a disabled child and the primary focus is on family units which include a dependent child. The research involvesassessing currently available literature and conducting data analysis to explore theexperience of relationship breakdown in families which include a disabled person,and examining whether there are associations that can be highlighted betweendisability experiences and relationship transitions. There is little British evidence looking at the effect that being a disabled adult, or having a disabled child, has on rates of family break-up or on re-partnering or having children. This study fills thissignificant gap in our knowledge.
