Ebook: Social Policy: A New Feminist Analysis 2nd Edition

This new edition reflects extensive social changes in women's participation at work, educational achievement, security in marriage; and policy changes aimed at producing a mixed economy of welfare, increasing family responsibility in health, community care, housing, education and income security. It examines the changing pattern of welfare provision, with increasing reliance on women's unpaid work, the gendered nature of UK welfare structures, and the changing political climate of the 1980s and 1990s.
