as future 'citizen workers'. The book explores the implications of changes to the welfare state for children in a range of countries.
Children, Changing Families and Welfare States:
- examines the implications of social policies for children
- sets the discussion in the broader context of both family change and welfare state change, exploring the nature of the policy debate that has allowed the welfare of the child to come to the fore
- tackles policies to do with both the care and financial support of children
- looks at the household level and how children fare when both adult men and women must seek to combine paid and unpaid work, and what support is offered by welfare states
- endeavours to provide a comparative perspective on these issues.
The contributors have written a book that will be warmly welcomed by scholars and researchers of social policy, social work and sociology and students at both the advanced undergraduate and post-graduate level.
