This volume is the printed version of a survey carried out in conjunction with a B.B.C. series called "The changing world" which was broadcast in 1932. Four of the talks were monologues by Beveridge ( The changing family, The family and the population question, Nature and nurture and The enduring family: a first impression of the returns ). The others were dialogues: Hugh Dalton and Eleanor Barton (of the Women's Co-operative Guild) on The economics of family life ; Beveridge and Morris Ginsberg on The family as a social group ; and, Beveridge and Jennie Laurel Adamson on Some problems for solution . The talks were part of an attempt by the BBC to collect information from listeners which would be useful for social scientists. The BBC would arrange the talks and distribute/collect the forms and the LSE would analyse the forms.
