?:abstract
  • In the first decades after World War II, many European countries had a particularly conservative policy towards the work-family relationship and childcare in that they supported women’s role as caring mother instead of women’s employment and public daycare for children. However, since the 1990s, many European welfare states have changed their family policy and offered support for women’s labor market integration and a more gender-egalitarian policy for parents of small children. The chapter by Pfau-Effinger explores how far welfare states that have been characterized as a conservative type of welfare regime at the end of the 1980s according to Esping-Andersen have changed their family policies since then, and how differences regarding persistence and change in family policies can be explained. The empirical study analyses the role of cultural, institutional and socio-structural factors for the explanation of persistence and change in family policies in the time period between 1990 and 2015 in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. It uses document analysis, analyses of statistical data and surveys, and secondary analysis of historical studies. The findings show that cultural change in the population can be an important explanatory factor for change in welfare state policies. However, cultural change does not per se create policy change, the lack of which can be caused by ambiguity in the cultural change itself, as in the example of Swiss family policies. (xsd:string)
