The politics of parental leave policies
A Global Review of New Social Risks and Responses for Children and their Families
Given global demographic and social trends, the need for new policy and program responses is essential. This article identifies and describes new and traditional social risks affecting children and their families in both industrialized and developing countries by region. Traditional risks continue in the developing as well as the industrialized countries but the extent and scale are very different and the problems are far more severe in developin…
Investing in Children
Using time series and survey data, this article explores public commitment to children and their families from 1980 through 2001 in 21 industrialized countries. Despite the shrinking child population in all countries and the slowed growth of the welfare state in most, the authors find that spending on children and families has increased in most countries. The authors conclude that the instruments and goals of the family benefit and service packag…
A Handbook of Comparative Social Policy
Child and family policies in an era of social policy retrenchment and restructuring
This chapter discusses child and family policies during an era of social policy retrenchment and restructuring. The first section includes an overview of government investment in children and their families, as well as what can be learned from a current look at public social expenditures. The discussion then shifts to a series of country ‘cases’ based on government reports, research reports, and interviews with public officials and policy scholar…
Child and Family Policies in the United States at the Opening of the Twenty‐first Century
A repeated theme, characterizing US social policies toward children and their families, is that the US has no explicit family policy, nor does it have a coherent package of social policies that are targeted on children and their families. Nonetheless, there is general agreement that the US does have policies that have consequences for children and their families, and that many of these might constitute ‘implicit’ family policies. However, these p…

Family Change and Family Policies in Great Britain, Canada, New Zealand, and the United States
This is the first volume in a series reporting on the evolution of family policies in twenty Western welfare states and comparing current provisions. The developments are presented in the context of a report on family change for each of the countries, and with a view of the economic, political, and institutional contexts in which they occurred. Each of the country reports in the present volume has been prepared as a team collaboration by internat…
Starting Right
America has long been heralded as the land of opportunity, but for our very youngest citizens, it is too often a land of despair. Every year, a shocking 32,000 American babies die before they reach their first birthday. More than one-quarter of the children under age three live in families with incomes below the poverty line, and only 67% of children under two get the necessary series of immunizations needed to protect them from life-threatening …
The Debate over Child Care, 1969-1990
Home Health Visiting in Europe
European countries have a long history of providing home health visiting services. These services contrast in many ways with the services of those programs in the United States described by Douglas Powell in this journal issue. Most notably, the European programs are typically universal in that they are offered to all families. In describing the European programs, Sheila Kamerman and Alfred Kahn give special focus to programs in Denmark and Great…
Economic Consequences of Divorce
In the past decade there has been a remarkable cross-national convergence in the experience, research, and reaction to the Divorce Revolution. As each country has experienced spiralling divorce rates and has adopted more liberal rules for divorce, it has begun to be concerned about the social and economic consequences of these changes. The twenty-six eminent contributors to this volume investigate how the new laws work in practice, analyze the so…

Privatization and the Welfare State
Child Care Policies and Programs
Child development research is more extensive and more sophisticated in the U.S. than in any other country. U.S. policymakers have access to more and better information about the factors known to enhance or impede good child development than those in almost any other country. Nonetheless, the U.S. lags far behind almost all the major advanced industrialized countries with regard to the supply, quality, and affordability of out‐of‐home child care s…

Privatization and the Welfare State
Looking at the theory and practice of privatization in its broadest manifestations, the contributors to this volume scrutinize the combination of public and private initiatives that makes up the present U.S. social sector. As they discuss privatization both in production and delivery of services and in financing, they reveal complexities that have been ignored in recent ideological arguments. This book, while warning about political misuse of pri…

“Family Policy” is a term that is used increasingly in the U.S. to describe policies affecting children and their families. In this article, the authors focus on whether societal learning has occurred across the Atlantic with regard to family policy and what, if anything, the U.S. has learned or borrowed from Europe. The authors conclude that there has been some borrowing, albeit modest; currently, some of that learning is reflected in an expandi…

Single‐parent, female‐headed families in Western Europe
Trends in single-parent, female-headed families in Western Europe are analyzed and compared. The authors "explore the 'single-parent family' phenomenon in Western Europe, the factors that account for the growth in the numbers of these families, how these families are perceived and the policy responses in the different countries; we also note some patterns." Data are from a variety of sources. Some comparisons are made with the situation in the Un…

Participation, leadership, and expertise are three elements often considered in juxtaposition in community action and planning efforts. A study of community-based programs offered an opportunity to view these variables in interaction. It became clear that to be successful, projects must balance these factors even though there may sometimes be conflict among them.

Income Transfers and Mother-Only Families in Eight Countries
An eight-country study of governmental income transfers affecting incomes of families with young children yields systematic data on the income levels of mother-only families and the policies and programs through which they are attained.

A Paradigm for Programming
Program development is becoming increasingly important, yet skill and competence in this area are difficult to obtain. This article suggests a conceptual model and some guidelines to be employed by administrators and others engaged in the creation of new programs. The model was derived inductively from intensive study of twenty-three programs from their inception through a two and one-half to three-year period. Existing theories of organizational…

Universalism and Income Testing in Family Policy
The traditional debate on whether a program should be universalistic or selective oversimplifies and limits the policy options. The current debate focuses on a range of policy options including a policy package that can permit income testing without stigmatizing the poor and that can continue universal benefits by including those benefits in the recipient's taxable income. This article reports the findings of a comparative study of eight countrie…

Comparative analysis in family policy
In the belief that there can be clear advantages to analyzing social policy in terms of its impact on families, the authors present a case study in which they compare family policy in five European countries and the United States in relation to the question of how citizens can raise and care for children at the same time as they are productive members of the work force
