This title was first published in 2000. This is a study which
compares and contrasts how lone mothers' relationships to paid work
and care-giving are constructed across 20 countries, and with what
outcomes for lone mothers' levels of economic well-being. In doing
so, the book explores from an international perspective, the
implications of the re-orientation of lone mothers' citizenship
within the UK policy field from that of care-giver to paid worker.
The volume engages with feminist comparative social policy
literature concerned with specifying a construction of citizenship
appropriate to capturing international variations in women's social
rights. By incorporating social rights attached to paid work and
care, as well as those which enable lone mothers to move between
sequential periods of paid work and care-giving across the
child-rearing cycle, the study makes a significant contribution to
the literature.

In an age of migration and mobility many aspects of contemporary
family life - from biological reproduction to marriage, from
child-rearing to care of the elderly - take place against a
backdrop of intensified movement across a range of spatial scales
from the global to the local. This insightful book analyzes the
opportunities and challenges this poses for families and for
academic, empirical and policy understandings of 'the family' on a
global level, including case studies from Europe, India, the
Philippines, South Korea, the United States and Australia. With
chapters on international reproductive tourism, transnational
parenting, 'mail-order brides' and 'sunset migration', it examines
the implications of migration and mobility for families at
different stages of the life course. Moreover, it brings together
leading international scholars to connect a fragmented field of
research, and in so doing enables an interdisciplinary exchange,
generating new insights for theory, policy and empirical analysis.
Social Policy Review brings together an exciting mix of
internationally renowned authors to provide comprehensive
discussion of the some of the most challenging issues facing social
policy today. Volume 23 provides a comprehensive overview of policy
developments internationally, and it includes a special combined
two-part section on the UK's Coalition Government. The book also
contains key contributions from the wider social policy community.
It will provide students, academics, and all those interested in
welfare issues with critical analyses of progress and change in
areas of major interest during the past year.
