A comparative picture of the welfare state and gender relations. The authors explore how care, work and welfare are constituted in eight countries and examine the impact of the welfare state on women and men's access to resources, roles and power relations.



Written in an accessible style, Gender and the Welfare State brings together wide-ranging information from the major European Union countries as well as from the USA, providing the reader with essential reference material. It will be welcomed by all those interested in gender, social policies and the comparative study of welfare states.
