The provision of state funded and democratically accountable care
services represents one of the most potentially transformative
advances in gendered social relations and equality for women by
'defamilizing' care and providing paid work. But the cost of
providing these services, which women have access to them and how
they should be provided are always at the forefront of debate,
especially during economic crises. Socially funded and publicly
accountable care services are therefore a key site of feminist
activity, but also the frontline for spending cuts and 'reform'
during times of austerity. Gender Equality in Public Services
analyses how gender equality work in British public services is
changing in response to factors including: equality legislation;
the erosion of local democracy, privatisation of public services
and new forms of feminist activism and leadership. It also assesses
the challenges and opportunities for promoting women's equality in
producing and using public services. Impacting upon developed and
developing economies, the arguments in this challenging book
explore the potential of equality and feminist activism and
leadership for radical and transformational change. It will appeal
to advanced students, researchers and practitioners interested in
social policy, feminist organization theory, equal opportunities
and gender mainstreaming practice.
