The 5th International Conference on Policies and Parental Support is a premier gathering organized by the York Business School in association with the Institute for Social Justice and supported by key social policy research networks. Taking place in the historic heart of York, this conference serves as a critical global forum for examining the legal, social, and economic frameworks that define the lives of parents and families in the 21st century.
The 2026 session focuses on the "Fracturing of Solidarities," exploring how modern welfare systems are adapting—or failing—in an era of intense political and economic division. Participants will engage in high-level discussions regarding parental support in the workplace, the evolution of childcare policies, and the impact of regulatory measures on household stability. This interdisciplinary event bridges the gap between theoretical research and practical policy implementation, offering a unique international stage for scholars and practitioners to share findings from both the Global North and South. Attendees can expect a rigorous program featuring plenary sessions, thematic workshops, and dedicated networking tracks designed to foster collaborative inquiry and systemic change.
