- Description
- This book explores the different ways in which dual-earner couples in contemporary welfare states plan for, realize and justify their divisions of work and care during the transition to parenthood. Providing an analysis of new parents in eight European countries, this book locates couples' beliefs and negotiations in the wider context of national institutional structures. The ways and degrees to which new parents can realize their work-care plans and ideals relate to the support structures and resources available from employers, families and the state. A key focus is on couples that act in a non-normative way compared to their national, gender cultural context.
