Abstract

Thanks to women’s and gender studies, the analysis of social welfare states has expanded to include the unpaid work of wives and mothers, as well as the social welfare reforms for these groups. The study at hand begins with the current research on social welfare states that center on concepts of motherhood but expands the area of study to include the examination of fatherhood and parenthood.
