One of the fundamental challenges facing modern welfare states is
the question of work-family reconciliation. An increasing share of
mothers work, but many European welfare states do not adequately
support the dual-earner model, especially in southern Europe. After
2005, German policy-makers transformed the nature of Germany's
family policy regime through a number of legislative measures,
whilst Italy, a country with many similarities, witnessed little
change. Using a multi-methods approach, this book addresses the
puzzle of why Germany was able to implement far-reaching reforms in
this policy area after a long impasse and Italy was not. As such,
it delivers a broad, systematic account of these reforms and sheds
light on why similar reforms were not also adopted in other similar
welfare states at the same time. More generally, it contributes to
understanding the determinants of welfare policy change in modern
European welfare states. This text will be of key interest to
scholars, students and professionals working on topics linked to
European politics, welfare and work-family policies, comparative
politics, social policy, and more broadly to political science and
gender studies.
