It is common for European couples living fairly egalitarian lives
to adopt a traditional division of labour at the transition to
parenthood. Based on in-depth interviews with 332 parents-to-be in
eight European countries, this book explores the implications of
family policies and gender culture from the perspective of couples
who are expecting their first child. Couples' Transitions to
Parenthood: Analysing Gender and Work in Europe is the first
comparative, qualitative study that explicitly locates couples'
parenting ideals and plans in the wider context of national
institutions. This unique analysis of transitions to parenthood in
contemporary Europe focuses on Sweden, Germany, the Netherlands,
Switzerland, Italy, Spain, the Czech Republic and Poland. It
explores how parents' agency varies along with policy-culture gaps
in their countries and provides evidence of their struggle to adapt
to, or resist, socially desired paths and patterns of change. In
fact, the ways in which institutional structures limit possible
choices and beliefs about motherhood and fatherhood are linked in
ways that often go unnoticed by social scientists, policy makers
and parents themselves. This cutting-edge book will be of interest
to social scientists, political scientists, journalists and
policy-makers. Parents-to-be will also find value in this analysis
of gender in parenthood. Contributors include: P. Abril, J.
