Abstract
The aim of the article was to make a contribution to a more differentiated analysis of the relation between family structure, children's well-being and their personal development.Two theses have been tested by correlation methods and cluster analysis. First thesis: Family strukture is only one factor, that influences children's well-being and development. Second thesis: Each family structure is not an homogeneous "Lebenswelt", on the contrary, different "Lebenswelten" can be found within each type of family structure. The results of a survey of teb year old childrenand their parents build the empirical database of the analysis. The analysis confirms partially both theses.Family strukcture has a significant influence on children's well-being, but the parent-Child relationship, the residential resources and family as an interactingunit show a stronger influence thean the family structure.
