Children, Changing Families and Welfare States by Jane Lewis
The nature of the relationship between children, parents and the state has been central to the growth of the welfare state and has long been a problem for western liberal democracies. This book examines the implications of social policies for children, and sets the discussion in the context of family change and welfare state change.
'As welfare states grow up, they begin to think more carefully about their futureJane Lewis is showing them how best to do so. This stellar collection of articles by top European scholars combines creative thinking about the new social investment state with impressive empirical research on specific forms of public support for family work.' -- Nancy Folbre, University of Massachusetts, Amherst, US
Edited by Jane Lewis, formerly Professor of Social Policy, London School of Economics, UK
