This book explores the organization and divisions of labour of
domestic and care work in modern France and in so doing, reveals
some of the drivers of and obstacles to change in the relationship
between gender, the family, and the French state. The book finds
that both the policies and social norms that structure how domestic
and care work is carried out and by whom in contemporary France
have been influenced by historical legacies dating back to the
Revolution such as French Republicanism and pronatalism, and more
recent political currents such as the self-management movement and
materialist feminism. Chapter 1 sets out the analytical framework
for the book, while Chapter 2 explores the historical legacies that
help shape contemporary domestic and care work in France. Chapters
3, 4, and 5 focus on the specific activities of parental and
childcare work, long-term care for adults, and domestic work in the
contemporary period. Chapter 6 discusses the effects of the
COVID-19 restrictions on domestic and care work, and Chapter 7
concludes the discussion.
