Family Policy Paradoxes Gender Equality And Labour Market Regulation In Sweden 19302010

"Family Policy Paradoxes examines the political regulation of the family in Sweden, between 1930 and today. The book draws attention to the political attempts to create a 'modern family, ' and the aspiration to regulate the family and install gender equality. It looks at historic and current developments in gender equality and family policy, and it sheds light on the ongoing policy processes within Europe and how these can be understood in the light of a particular political experience."--Pub. desc.
