This book focuses on how EU welfare policies are implemented at the
local level in 11 European cities and how local policy making
addresses women’s care responsibilities. The book studies the
complex combination of and the relationships between local
political processes, policies, institutions, structural conditions
and outputs, as well as outcomes for the women’s labour market
integration. It demonstrates how cultural settings and multi-level
governance patterns form the “playground” for local policy
makers to formulate their welfare policies concerning service
provision. The book further demonstrates how local production
systems and the situation of the local labour market influence the
prospects that women have in working and caring. EU welfare policy
promotes the labour market integration of women as well as gender
equality. The provision of adequate care services is vital in
supporting women’s employment. Within comparative welfare
research, the focus has been on the national welfare systems and
policies even if care services are overwhelmingly provided by local
authorities that in many EU member states enjoy considerable
autonomy. This book fills the gap in understanding local welfare
policy making from a comparative perspective.
