The goal is to highlight how different health conditions affect the possibilities of finding a partner, having children and creating stable family relationships, with a particular focus on men from disadvantaged backgrounds.

The project "The impact of health in early adulthood on family formation and dissolution processes" has received 3 343 812 SEK Riksbanken's Anniversary Fund and will be led by Kieron Barclay.
