The Survey of Mothers in Europe was conducted by the European delegation of the World Movement of Mothers (MMM Europe), a partner in the Family Platform (www.familyplatform.eu) launched by the Research Directorate of the European Commission in 2009 (7th framework programme) to generate a research agenda for evidence-based family policy. The main objective of the survey was thus to gather the priorities, challenges and wishes of mothers across Europe about their wellbeing and that of their families. The survey ran in 10 languages across 16 European countries and received responses from more than 11,000 mothers. Expert interviews, focus groups, survey preparation, and analysis were done by volunteer mothers at MMM Europe’s Brussels office.
