Description | With the growth of parental employment, leave policy is at the center of welfare state development and at the heart of countries' child and family policies. It is the point where many different policy areas intersect — child wellbeing, family, gender equality, employment and labour markets, and demography. Leave policy gives an insight into a country's values, interests, and priorities. International comparisons of leave policy are available, but less attention has been paid to understanding the factors that bring about these variations. This book covers 15 countries in Europe and beyond and looks at parental leave policy within a wider work/family context, while addressing how, why, and by whom, particular òpolicies are created and subsequently developed in particular countries. |
