Abstract

This paper analyses some of the changes that have affected the family as an institution in Spain, using data from the 2001 census as a reference. Nowadays, there is a growing interest in new developing family structures, since this is another factor that illustrates dramatic changes in all major areas of modern life. Two of these new types of family structures constitute social groups susceptible to inadequate life and health conditions: single mothers and elderly people living alone. Health care in Spain constitutes a burden for the family, and these new types of families are more vulnerable and require special attention.
