These are just some of the questions this controverisal book asks in its analysis of the European labour markets. By bringing together contributions from all over Europe, Women, Work and the Family in Europe outlines the similarities and differences between countries in terms of the problems of reconciling work and family. In doing so it questions the division of labour, not just in the labour market but also in the home, reviewing, for example, fatherhood and the effect of work commitments on men's time spent with their families. Contributions range from a study of family policies to the care of the elderly; from home working to gender roles, motherhood and class. Clearly written, systematic and comprehensive, this book reflects the growing interest in the European context and will appeal to students of social policy and European studies as well as all those involved in women's studies and sociology.

Gender Inequality and Welfare States in Europe available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Gender equality has been one of the defining projects of European welfarestates. It has proven an elusive goal, not just because of political opposition but also due to a lack of clarity in how to best frame equality and take account of family-related considerations. This wide-ranging book assembles the most pertinent literature and evidence to provide a critical understanding of how contemporary state policies engage with gender inequalities.

Between Work and Family in Germany and Europe available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Reconciling work and family roles is a topic of vital and controversial discussion in Western societies. When women and men fail to reconcile their work and family roles, the result is work-family conflict (WFC), which prior research has connected to various aspects of health and well-being. The present thesis consists of four publications, which include one review and three secondary data analyses. They both summarize the existing research on WFC and health in Europe and substantially contributes to the literature. Accordingly, the present study 1) narrows the research gap in longitudinal studies that examine the effect of WFC on health, 2) evaluates how societal structures such as reconciliation policies and gendered division of work affect WFC and health across European countries, and 3) analyzes gender differences in the association between WFC and health. Results show a relatively small number of publications come from the European region, which present associations between WFC and several aspects of health. However, gender differences are not thoroughly examined. When looking at (causal) associations over time, WFC has an effect on both general and mental health. While this association does not differ between European countries, the prevalence of WFC itself does. These differences in WFC reporting can be partly explained by country-level indicators of reconciliation policies. No gender differences in the association between WFC and health were observed in the empirical data, but an analysis of heterogeneity within the gender groups revealed that higher education may alleviate health-related burdens among men but not among women. Interpretation of results, methodological issues, and implications for policy and practice are discussed in light of recent pandemic-driven developments in WFC research and public discourse.
