Meer over het boek

The book delves into the critical role women play in the welfare state, highlighting significant social and policy changes over the past decade. It explores women's evolving participation in the workforce, education, and marriage security, alongside shifts towards a mixed economy of welfare. Key themes include the reliance on women's unpaid work, the gendered aspects of UK welfare systems, and women's dependence on male incomes and welfare benefits. The analysis also addresses the public-private divide and the implications of political changes in the late 20th century.
