This book explains and theorises the ways in which family policy
instruments come to shape the routine care arrangements of young
children. Drawing on interviews with close to a hundred parents
from very different walks of life in urban and rural Romania, the
book provides a rich account of the care arrangement transitions
these parents experience during their children's first five years
of life. The influence of family policies emerges as complex and
uneven, affecting childcare decisions both directly and indirectly
by contributing to the reproduction and legitimation of age-related
hierarchies of care ideals. These cultural artefacts, reflective of
both longstanding institutional legacies and recent policy
innovations between 2006 and 2015, are the prism through which
mothers and fathers from diverse backgrounds view and make
decisions about their children's care. This unique volume will be
of interest and value to students and scholars of childcare, its
organisation and family policy, specifically in post-socialist
contexts.
