Zusatztext 'I would recommend this book for academics who want to study! in a seriously contextual and interdisciplinary manner! the function and status of the family in the modern state.'Thomas M. Kelly! Omaha! Intams Review Informationen zum Autor Manuela Naldini Klappentext This work analyses in a historical and comparative perspective the relationship between the family and the welfare state in two Mediterranean countries: Italy and Spain. Two aims form the focus of the book. Firstly, to open the black box of the family in welfare state analysis, introducing a focus on inter-generational and kin relations. Secondly, to explain why the southern welfare states have offered very low support to families with children by taking into account several factors: the legacy of fascism, the role of the Church, and the specific role played by leftist parties in defining family policy as labour policy.
