- Description
- ‘Gender and Care Cutting Edge Pack’ includes an overview report: a collection of supporting resources, such as key texts, case studies, tools, guides,and organisations: and issue 20 (february 2009) of Bridge Bulletin , a bulletin on gender and development. 'The Pack' assesses how it might be possible to move towards a world in which individuals and society recognise and value the importance of different forms of care, but without reinforcing care work as something that only women can or should do. It discusses why care is such an important issue for development work and social justice activism, especially in the face of emerging 'care crises' such as ageing populations and the HIV pandemic. Drawing on diverse examples of initiatives taking place in countries across the world, it considers what strategies offer the best prospects for change.

- Description
- Children's wellbeing depends as it always has on somebody taking care of them every minute of every day and night. When most mothers and fathers are in paid employment, much of the day-to-day hands-on care of children has to be done by someone else. But who is to do that caring, and who should bear the costs? In this book the author offers an evaluation of these complex issues. She considers the view points of politicians, parents, and children themselves, and summarises what international research can tell us about the effects of different kinds of care on families and children. Economic recession lends the book additional urgency. Must employed parents work even longer hours to protect their jobs and incomes. Will governments retreat from family friendly policies such as paid parental leave and flexible working to protect small businesses? For Leach, what matters most is recognising that children's care is not just the responsibility of parents, often struggling to be in two places at once, but is intrinsic to the well-being of the whole of society. Child care is a problem not just for families, but for nations.

- Description
- The author describes how certain forms of care within the world of animals caused new ways of engaging and understanding people. She argues that if young animals were to survive in a world of scarce food, they needed to be cared for by their mothers and by siblings, aunts, fathers and friends, and that out of this form of childrearing the human capacity for understanding others came forth.

- Description
- This paper seeks to understand how care policies are shaped. It looks at the dynamic between how constituencies make care claims and the ways in which care policies are constructed and delivered in different national, regional and historical contexts. The focus is mainly on child care policies for working parents in Europe, but the purview also includes policies for disabled people and unpaid careers. There are two main sections to the paper. The first focuses on the ways different political actors frame care policies in Europe. The second part examines policies in national context in relation to which issues drive policies and what this means for outcomes in terms of social inequalities: demographic change, social investment, employment-creation, and the global nature of care policy.

- Description
- 'Part I of the paper examines the interface and trade-offs between paid and unpaid work, including unpaid care work, while Part II identifies data gaps and proposes further research and analysis. Specifically, the paper focuses on women’s and men’s division of labour between paid work and unpaid care work and its effects on gender equality with respect to decent work outcomes, and one’s ability and power to make and act on choices: its interconnection with individual and family poverty: and on how economic and social policies and institutions influence women’s options by reducing or increasing the burden of unpaid care work. Unpaid care work shapes the ability, duration and types of paid work that can be undertaken. As it does not offer monetary remuneration, it reduces the exercise of “voice” over decision-making and impacts on one’s ability to accumulate savings and assets. Being regarded a woman’s “natural” work - performed in the “private” sphere of the family - unpaid care work hides away its economic dimensions and contributions: and being undervalued, it assigns paid social reproduction (care) workers to jobs that are presumed to be unskilled, with low pay, slender options for promotion and scant social protection. .Most importantly, unpaid care work entails a systemic transfer of hidden subsidies to the rest of the economy that go unrecognized, imposing a systematic time-tax on women throughout their life cycle. These hidden subsidies signal the existence of power relations between men and women. But also, they connect the “private” worlds of households and families with the “public” spheres of markets and the state in exploitative ways. It is important to shed light on these interconnections and draw attention to a pervasive form of inequality, in ways that motivate public dialogue and action on behalf of policy makers, in the hope that change is possible.'

- Description
- Through a series of case studies of low-status interactive and embodied servicing work, this book examines the theoretical and empirical nature of the shift to embodied work in service-dominated economies. The author defines ‘body work’ to include the work by service sector employees on their own bodies and on the bodies of others. It .sets UK case studies in the context of global patterns of economic change and explores the consequences of growing polarization in the service sector. The book draws on geography, sociology, anthropology, labour market studies, and feminist scholarship

- Description
- The goal of this research was to find out what can be done to ease the combination of multiple roles in families with young children. The present dissertation is a compilation of studies that contribute to the literature on multiple roles by examining (1) individuals’ implicit strategies and explicit strategies in combining multiple roles, (2) couples’ combination strategies and crossover of work-family experiences between partners, and (3) work-family experiences and its relation to parenting. All themes were approached with attention to the role of social-cultural context. All chapters are based on questionnaire data from the FamWork project, a European study on the reconciliation of work and family life among dual-earner couples with young children. Met een samenvatting in het Nederlands.

- 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.

- Description
- In this collection voices in feminist and queer theory are brought together to create an interdisciplinary dialogue that will define the terms of the debates between and within feminist and queer a theoretical framework.These debates revolve around the multiple interrelated issues - such as gender, identity, intimacy, privacy, and sex harassment - that all extend from the emphasis given to gender on the one hand and sex and sexuality on the other. These two theories have much in common but also much that distinguishes them from one another, and that causes tension. The authors in this volume explore the legal, political, social and cultural implications of their distinct theoretical approaches to gender and sexuality.
