Description

Explore the complex relationship between work, family, and the state with this academic study from Edward Elgar Publishing. This book provides a detailed overview of the social policies that affect women across several major European nations, including Germany, Italy, Denmark, Britain, Ireland, Norway, France, and Sweden. A central focus of this work is the connection between paid and unpaid labor. This is a critical social issue that few European governments have addressed explicitly and remains a topic outside the current European Commission agenda. By examining these dynamics, the text offers a deep look into how welfare systems and social structures impact the lives of women. Each chapter features contributions from experts who discuss the specific literature regarding women and welfare within their respective countries. Readers will gain a clear understanding of the developments in social policies and the evolving position of women regarding reproductive issues and labor. This resource is an essential read for students, researchers, and professionals interested in sociology, anthropology, and European social policy.
