The impact of the crisis on families



E ast Wednesday I had the opportunity to participate in the conference sponsored by the Foundation for Assistance to Drug Addiction " The impact of the crisis on some families instead." The English company has more than two years immersed in economic crisis, and I think it is very necessary to stop and analyze what might be the consequences for families who are being hit by an unprecedented crisis in our young democracy.

Some data are already evident, as is the decrease in the number of divorces and separations. And it is to break the marriage costs a lot, and when it is scarce, couples can choose to keep coexistence, although this is very complicated. For years we know that the relationship between the family's economic situation and the marital relationship is paradoxical, because if on one hand the lack of resources increases marital conflict, it also puts the spouses to a divorce malavenidos very difficult because maintaining two homes is very expensive for an economy battered family.

Therefore, we are seeing familiar situations in which the loss of use of one or two members of the couple, or the threat of its loss leads to increased family stress can make it more likely that situations aggression and gender violence or child abuse, since there is enough empirical evidence indicating that this stress is a major risk factor for both types of violence. In relation to violence against women is noteworthy that unemployment is affecting the productive sectors (industry, construction), traditionally male, so they are increasing the number of families in which the man loses his job and is in a situation of dependence on women. This new balance of power is not always well accepted by man, you may want to compensate by physical domination.

can also be severely damaged parent-child relationships, especially at times they are more complicated as early adolescence. The causes of this deterioration may be related to increased levels of stress generated by unemployment and economic hardship, but their weight may also have increased the negative view of adolescence, leading some parents to make biased interpretations and prejudices of some behaviors that are normative children during this time. As we have already had occasion to comment in a previous post, the image society has of his youth and adolescents often encompass social changes. So while at times is needed for rapid incorporation into the work of new generations, as in war and postwar periods, they tend to present as mature and responsible, in situations of crisis that image is replaced by a less favorable, it does not pursue other purpose but to keep them away from employment and social participation.

In other moments of excess labor data have emerged that have supported the importance for child development of mothering, from the risks of substitute care in nurseries and kindergartens. In this way it was intended to keep women away from a labor market in low hours. But those were different times, and I refuse to think of a regression in women's work. We to reflect further on the implications for families in this economic crisis, which so reluctant to abandon shown.
