Families and Substance Abuse: The Case For A Comprehensive Approach

The California Legislature established the Joint Select Task Force on the Changing Family in September, 1987. It was charged with studying the social, economic, and demographic trends affecting California\u27s families, assessing the significance of those trends for public policy, and recommending to the Legislature and the public policies that will better meet the needs of today\u27s families. During its three-year tenure, the Task Force held hearings and public meetings in cities across the state, received testimony from a wide range of experts, and listened to the concerns of many kinds of families. The findings and recommendations of the Task Force are reflected in several publications. Planning a Family Policy for California, the first year report of the Task Force, outlined major trends affecting the state\u27s families and the inadequacies of our current policies. That report has been supplemented by several subsequent reports, including Falling Through the Safety Net: The Health Care Crisis and California\u27s Families, Housing California\u27s Families: The End of the American Dream? and Families and Adolescents: Dealing with Today\u27s Realities. This report, Families and Substance Abuse: The Case for A comprehensive Approach, reflects the specific concerns of the Task Force regarding a topic much on the public agenda. It is not intended as scholarly research, but rather as a presentation of issues and recommendations intended to contribute to the public discussion. The Task Force hopes Families and Substance Abuse will stimulate debate, contribute to public awareness, and motivate the Legislature and citizens of the state to address these issues of vital concern to California\u27s families. The Task Force welcomes comments as part of its ongoing effort to respond to public input and promote the health and stability of the state\u27s families

Energy markets and the euro area macroeconomy

This report aims to analyse euro area energy markets and the impact of energy price changes on the macroeconomy from a monetary policy perspective. The core task of the report is to analyse the impact of energy price developments on output and consumer prices. Nevertheless, understanding the link between energy price fluctuations, inflationary pressures and the role of monetary policy in reacting to such pressure requires a deeper look at the structure of the economy. Energy prices have presented a challenge for the Eurosystem, as the volatility of the energy component of consumer prices has been high since the creation of EMU. At the same time, a look back into the past may not necessarily be very informative for gauging the likely impact of energy price changes on overall inflation in the future. For instance, the reaction of HICP inflation to energy price fluctuations seems to have been more muted during the past decade than in earlier periods such as the 1970s.
