After two decades of feminist challenges to mainstream theorising,
gender has become a central element of social policy and the
welfare state. A new literature has widened the focus of social
policy from state and economy to a three-sided discourse
encompassing the state, the market and the family. The Handbook on
Gender and Social Policy provides a comprehensive introduction to
this field with up-to-date accounts of debates and innovative
original research by leading international authors. The Handbook
covers the key areas of social policy that relate to the
inequalities between men and women in the developed and developing
world. It presents original research on contemporary issues at
national and transnational levels across the central policy terrain
of income, employment, care and family policy, including family
policy models, same-sex marriage and child protection. It features
chapters on key perspectives on gender and policy and six original
studies of the state of play in different regions of the world. The
Handbook on Gender and Social Policy is an excellent resource for
advanced students and postgraduate students of sociology, political
science, women?s studies, policy studies and related areas. It will
also be of interest for practitioners and scholars of social policy
seeking up-to-date coverage of how gender affects the contours of
social policy and politics. Contributors include: E. Adamson, C.
