This exciting book, newly available in paperback, investigates the
scope of maternity legislation and family-friendly policies in the
European Union. The wider context of the analysis is the
development of equal rights as part of a European social dimension.
The book is concerned with the influence of values and beliefs
about women, equality, politics and employment on the scope of
equal rights and maternity provisions. It provides answers to the
following questions - what are the stated objectives of
family-friendly policies? Which values transpire from the analysis
of maternity rights? How do gender power hierarchies shape the
overall aim of policies for the reconciliation between work and
family life? Through the use of two case studies - one from Italy
and one from the UK - it uncovers the values that underpin the
policy making process and gives concrete examples of gender
policies in action. It will be of vital benefit to anyone studying
gender and gender policies in a specific European Union context. --
