Abstract

This book centers on the question as to the relevance of social welfare state regulation for the gendered distribution of family care work. The author conceptually binds the results of gender sensitive, international, and comparative research on social welfare states that find a way of approaching gender regimes. In her cross-sectional and longitudinal study she empirically examines the developments in Sweden, France, and Germany in the last 50 years. She focuses specifically on political developments, the gendered distribution of private care work, and gender-cultural developments, especially in terms of the role of fathers. The book takes an innovative approach and provides an empirically founded overview of the processes of change in the three comparative countries. It therefore provides a valuable contribution to the political discussion and to continuing scholarly development.
