This paper will look at recent trends in family structures and dynamics throughout the life course, discuss the context of those trends, and consider possible future developments in the new Millennium. Three major groups of family characteristics will be distinguished: those pertaining to relational behaviour (partnership), to reproductive behaviour (parenthood) and to intergenerational behaviour, the latter mainly focused on the living conditions of older persons.
