The project researchers focused on relationships with significant others: parents, grandparents, siblings, children, partners, friends and lovers. They investigated how these relationships affected people's well-being and life chances, and considered the implications for the long term resourcing of families. Timescapes ran for five years from February 2007, funded by the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC). Further information can be found on the <a href="http://www.timescapes.leeds.ac.uk/" title="Timescapes">Timescapes</a> website</a>. The overall aim of ‘Work and Family Lives: The Changing Experiences of ‘Young’ Families’ was to investigate processes of negotiation between parents and their primary-school-aged children concerning issues raised by working parenthood.
