Sorgearbeit im Recht. Ambivalente Solidaritäten und die Notwendigkeit einer solidarischen Care-Politik
Sorge für andere und gegenseitige Unterstützung (Care) in Sorgebeziehungen, sei es für Kinder, in Partnerschaften, zwischen den Generationen und in anderen Beziehungen, sind universell; jeder Mensch ist darauf angewiesen, und die meisten sorgen auch zeitweise selbst für andere. Der Care-Begriff, der sich in vielen Disziplinen international etabliert hat, knüpft an diesem Verständnis von wechselseitiger Abhängigkeit und Unterstützung an. Care umfa…

Motherhood and the Law
Who is a child’s legal mother? Must a child have exactly one mother, can it have two or three, or can it have two fathers, but no mother? Or has the concept of motherhood become obsolete and should we just talk of parenthood in a gender neutral way? Questions such as these would have appeared esoteric only a few decades ago, but as a result of new social developments (such as frequent family reconstitutions, gay and lesbian emancipation or surrog…

Individualisation and Personal Obligations - Social Policy, Family Policy, and Law Reform in Germany and the UK
This article examines recent reform in law and social policy in Germany and the UK, identifying and comparing developments from a family and gender perspective. The utility of the concept of individualisation to understand the reforms is put under the spotlight by an analysis that explores the relationship between individualisation and institutions regulating personal obligations to care for and maintain others. The article offers a number of arg…
Introduction: Path-dependencies and Change in Child-care and Preschool Institutions in Europe — Historical and Institutional Perspectives
Public child care and collective forms of education in early childhood have already been well researched, not only from a national but also from a comparative perspective.1 It might not be very productive to add to this literature, were it not that the available research is strongly dominated by a relatively short-range social policy perspective. Where comparison is practised, it focuses on developments of the last decades, which are virtually al…
Childcare and Preschool Development in Europe
This book explains the differences between European countries in the supply and forms of public child care and preschool provisions by reference to the historical context in which these forms originat
Slow Motion — Institutional Factors as Obstacles to the Expansion of Early Childhood Education in the FRG
The development and expansion of early childhood education in the Federal Republic of Germany (FRG) — at least in the western part — has lagged somewhat behind that of other European countries. Although the number of children aged three years to school age attending kindergarten has increased considerably since 1991, when a right to a kindergarten place was introduced by law, and now ranges between 90.5 percent in Western Germany and 100 percent …
Between Autonomy and Dependency: Minors' Rights to Decide on Matters of Sexuality, Reproduction, Marriage, and Parenthood. Problems and the State of Debate - An Introduction
Between autonomy and dependency – this characterizes the factual and legal position of minors. Their rights to decide on matters of sexuality, reproduction, partnership, marriage, and parenthood are limited by parental rights, but also affected by State regulation of social rights, services and education, and by criminal law. A broad approach is taken to investigate this range of issues from social and legal perspectives. This introductory contri…
Caring and Paying for Children and Gender Inequalities: Institutional Configurations in Comparative Perspective
Both family law and social law have an impact on the situation of families. This has held true since the times of the “poor law” (when family law was certainly more relevant for the wealthy and mighty strata of the population). Nowadays, other rules (such as those of labor law and tax law) and welfare state institutions come into play. In analyzing legal change, this interaction between family law and welfare law has to be taken into account. Fro…
Introduction: The Deep Roots, Stirring Present, and Uncertain Future of Family Law
Equal Opportunities Policies and the Management of Care in Germany
At European level, debate over measures to assist couples in reconciling employment and family life has focused mainly on issues of childcare. Policies concerned with caring for people of all ages are, however, of central importance for equal opportunities politics for a number of interacting reasons. Firstly, women perform most informal caring activities — childcare, care for disabled or older people — both within the family and for other close …

Who is supported? Social security for families with children between family law and social security regulations in Belgium, Germany and the United Kingdom
Individual and collective welfare lies at the heart of deliberations about contemporary welfare states. It is not always recognized that social security provisions interact closely with systems for the support of families and for labour market participation. This paper focuses on the interaction of institutional arrangements providing social security for families with children. The analytic framework incorporates family and marital law and social…
