- Description
- As populations around the world age, increasing efforts are required from families and governments to secure care and support for older and disabled people. Furthermore, both women and men are expected to work later into life. Taken together, these two facts have made the relationship between work and care a burning issue for social and employment policy as well as for those working toward economic sustainability. Emphasizing the lessons that can be learned from individual experiences, this book widens current debates on these topics, bringing the experiences of individuals who support older, disabled, or chronically ill partners, relatives, or children to the discussion table.

- 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.
