Hidden work-family challenges in the low- and middle-income countries
Discrepancy of social insurance between laws and practices
Although comparative welfare research has long criticized that the social insurance system in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) fails to cover the under-privileged population, very little is known about the discrepancy between social insurance legislation and its practice. In LMICs, social insurance legislation has remained only on the books for a long time, which prevents citizens from accessing their ‘entitled’ benefits. By analyzing the…
Partisan politics, economic hardship, and full-time day care for children in German cities
Gender cleavage and political parties in 19 welfare states, 1900–1975
The Origin of Social Policy for Women Workers
Comparative welfare research commonly assumes that women’s political demands were not a crucial factor in the early development of welfare legislation, given their limited access to political resources. This article argues that women contributed to enhancing their right to maternity protection once paid maternity leave was adopted. The early development of paid maternity leave was not only an outcome but also a cause of women’s influence in polic…
Ship of Theseus
Previous research focuses on the question of whether international standards have prompted any improvement of labor and social standards by law or in practice. This paper complements the literature by showing that the way that international standards are translated and implemented at the national level matters as well. Using a novel historical database on paid maternity leave policies in 160 countries with a time series from 1883 to 2018, I docum…
L'impact des traités internationaux se limite‐t‐il aux États qui les ont ratifiés? L'influence des conventions de l'OIT relatives à la protection de la maternité dans 160 pays entre 1883 et 2018
Les États qui ratifient les conventions internationales de l'OIT ne sont pas les seuls à se conformer à leurs dispositions. D'autres aussi adaptent leur législation en conséquence pour renforcer leur légitimité. S'appuyant sur une nouvelle base de données longitudinales, l'autrice retrace l'évolution des dispositions concernant le congé de maternité dans 160 pays entre 1883 et 2018 au regard de l'adoption par la Conférence internationale du Trava…
The Inclusiveness of Maternity Leave Rights over 120 Years and across Five Continents
Even though paid maternity leave was the earliest form of social protection specifically aimed at women workers and is fundamental in securing their economic independence vis-à-vis employers and spouses, it has received scant scholarly attention. Neither the traditional historical accounts of welfare state emergence nor the more recent gendered analyses of developed welfare states have provided comparative accounts of its beginnings and trajector…
Measuring Privatization
While numerous indicators have been suggested in the scholarly literature on the determinants of privatization, they have mostly been treated as equivalents without much attention to how closely they are matched. This paper compares five prominent operationalizations of privatization. It finds that correlations between these indicators are worryingly low. Moreover, it shows that results of otherwise identical regressions differ immensely dependin…
