Across the globe, family policy is becoming ever more important in
tackling key issues such as poverty, child welfare and the state of
the economy in general. The Handbook of Family Policy examines how
state and workplace policies support parents and their children in
developing, earning and caring. With original contributions from 45
leading scholars, this Handbook provides readers with up-to-date
knowledge on family policies and family policy research, taking
stock of current literature as well as providing analyses of
present-day policies, and where they should head in the future. The
Handbook is divided into five main sections: history, concepts,
theory and methods of family policy research; family policies;
family policy models; outcomes of family policies; and future
challenges for family policy making and research. Beneficial for
both scholars already familiar with the field as well as newcomers,
this Handbook provides important insights into the architecture and
mechanisms of different family policy models. Family policy makers
would also greatly benefit from the detailed advice on how family
policies may adapt and progress in the future. Contributors
include: S.-h. Baek, U. Bjoernberg, M. Blofield, J. Bradshaw, C.

The five Nordic countries, Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and
Sweden, are well-known for their extensive welfare system and
gender equality which provides both parents with opportunities to
earn and care for their children. In this topical book, expert
scholars from the Nordic countries, as well as UK and the US,
demonstrate how modern fatherhood is supported in the Nordic
setting through family and social policies, and how these
contribute to shaping and influencing the images, roles and
practices of fathers in a diversity of family settings and
variations of fatherhoods. This comprehensive volume will have wide
international appeal for those who look to Nordic countries and
their success in creating gender equal societies.
