| Annotation | As in most European Union (EU) countries, France is experiencing far-reaching changes in the structure of its population and patterns of family life. Socio-demographic changes - such as the high proportion of middle-aged adults (50-64) who have permanently left the labour force - are beginning to challenge some of France's key legal and social policy measures. This article outlines the types of support that are expected of family members in France: legal obligations to provide assistance; helping children towards independence; and the role of middle-aged individuals as grandparents.
