Policy Briefs

We consider policy advice a central component of FReDA. In our policy briefs, we take up the latest research findings on socially relevant topics and use them to develop recommendations for policy and practice.

The policy briefs provide actors from politics and society with quick and empirically based access to current and important family policy issues. They offer practice-oriented information and reliable recommendations for action as a basis for political decisions. The publications appear regularly and each issue is dedicated to a different focus topic.
