Defamilisation refers to the fact that welfare states, not only influence the degree of an individual’s dependence on markets, but also a person’s dependence on his or her own family. This concept is concerned with women’s dependence on the family due to care obligations and a male breadwinner as well as the dependence status of young adults due to difficulties in labor market access and no access to transfers in their own right, and on the dependence of the elderly due to a lack of care options outside the family (20)
