What are the driving forces behind family transformation in our age? The old male breadwinner model is vanishing. What will take its place? How will a new stable family form evolve which is compatible with women's new roles?

These are the questions that Professor Gosta Esping-Andersen will address in this year’s Department of Social Policy Annual Lecture.
