| Description:
Ann Orloff is Professor of Sociology, Gender Studies and Political Science, and Director of Gender Studies, at Northwestern University and Chair of the International Sociological Association Research Committee 19.
Abstract: Across the rich democracies, social policy changes over the last two decades have been driven by a concern with activation and economic self-sufficiency, for women and mothers no less than for men and fathers. This is an epochal shift in social policy, politics and gender relations. Earlier family and policy systems supported women's caregiving and met social care needs in ways that were accompanied by gender inequality. Today, state policies are only partly successful in supporting care needs and facilitating mothers employment, and have contradictory effects on gender relations. What would it take to develop political and policy support for both social care needs and gender equality? |
