Across the globe, family policy is becoming ever more important in
tackling key issues such as poverty, child welfare and the state of
the economy in general. The Handbook of Family Policy examines how
state and workplace policies support parents and their children in
developing, earning and caring. With original contributions from 45
leading scholars, this Handbook provides readers with up-to-date
knowledge on family policies and family policy research, taking
stock of current literature as well as providing analyses of
present-day policies, and where they should head in the future. The
Handbook is divided into five main sections: history, concepts,
theory and methods of family policy research; family policies;
family policy models; outcomes of family policies; and future
challenges for family policy making and research. Beneficial for
both scholars already familiar with the field as well as newcomers,
this Handbook provides important insights into the architecture and
mechanisms of different family policy models. Family policy makers
would also greatly benefit from the detailed advice on how family
policies may adapt and progress in the future. Contributors
