This book is the first comprehensive international overview of
maternity services. Drawing on concepts of risk and social
citizenship, it explores the relationship between welfare regimes
and health policy by comparing and contrasting provision for
childbearing women. Each substantive chapter focuses on a different
country, presenting detailed contextual information on health care
provision, maternity interventions and birth outcomes there. They
discuss key issues such as birth rates and fertility patterns, the
role of patient choice, attitudes to place of birth and maternity
entitlements among others, and the countries covered represent
diverse welfare regimes, including Ireland, Scotland, Sweden, the
Netherlands, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United States, Canada,
Australia and New Zealand. An extended introduction and a
conclusion draw the book together and place it in the context of
the literature on comparative welfare regimes. It is an important
reference for students and academics interested in comparative
social policy, health services research, and maternity services and
policies.
