Recenzii
This collection of essays explores and explains the significance of the differences and similarities in recent developments in the social, economic and employment policies for supporting parenthood within the four Scandinavian countries. Sharing a clear analytical framework, these essays represent comparative social policy at its best. They should be required reading for political scientists in general as well as those interested in achieving gender equality in particular. Hilary Land, Emeritus Professor of Family Policy, University of Bristol, UK
This book is a very valuable and timely contribution to writing in comparative social policy, family policy, gender and equality. Journal of Social Policy
