The relationship between gender and welfare states is of key
importance in understanding welfare states and gender equality and
inequality. Western welfare states of the post-war era were built
on assumptions about gender difference: they treated men as
breadwinners and women as carers. Now governments are committed in
principle to gender equality. But how far have they come from male
breadwinner assumptions to gender equality assumptions? How much do
gender differences continue in UK social policy and social
practice? The book analyses the male breadwinner model in terms of
power, employment, care, time and income, providing a framework for
chapters which ask about policies and practices for gender equality
in each of these. This new approach to analysis of gender equality
in social welfare contextualises national policies and debates
within comparative theoretical analysis and data, making the volume
interesting to a wide audience.
