This innovative book explores the different ways in which
dual-earner couples in contemporary welfare states plan for,
realize and justify their divisions of work and care during the
transition to parenthood. Providing a unique comparative,
longitudinal and qualitative analysis of new parents in eight
European countries, this timely book explicitly locates couples'
beliefs and negotiations in the wider context of national
institutional structures. Compelling evidence is provided,
demonstrating that the ways and degrees to which new parents can
realize their work-care plans and ideals systematically relate to
the support structures and resources available from employers,
families and the state. A key focus is on couples that act in a
non-normative way compared to their national, gender cultural
context. New Parents in Europe will be of great value to sociology,
political science and economics scholars alike and, with its use of
cutting-edge methodology, will prove to be a valuable resource for
policy makers. Contributors include: J. Alsarve, S. Bertolini, K.
