Tommy Ferrarini uses a macro-comparative, longitudinal and
institutional approach to study the origins and the consequences of
those institutions affecting family policy in eighteen post-world
war welfare democracies. This book argues that the wide variety of
cross-national differences in family policy legislation that
existed in these societies by the end of the 20th century - and
continue to exist today - are structured by different underlying
political power constellations based on social class as well as
gender. The author goes on to highlight how the extent to which
family policy is designed to support highly gendered divisions of
labour within families or dual earner families is also associated
with different cross-national patterns of female labour force
participation, childbearing, child poverty and gender role
attitudes. The institutions of family policy may therefore be
viewed as incentive structures as well as normative orders;
reflecting the motives underlying such legislation and affecting
behaviour and the world orientation of individuals. Families,
States and Labour Markets will appeal strongly to policymakers and
country experts within the field of social and family policy.
Academic researchers at many levels of academe in social policy and
political economy will also find much to engage them within this
book.
