Biographical note
Edited by Sirin Sung, School of Social Sciences, Education and Social Work, Queen’s University Belfast, UK<i>‘Spanning four continents, this book provides new insights into understanding work–family balance policies and gender equality in a wide range of welfare systems. The focus on countries not usually discussed in comparative literature is very welcome, as is the section exploring the effects of policies during and after COVID. The discussion is timely and forward-looking.’</i>
- Ruby Chau, University of Nottingham, UK,
<i>‘This is an insightful and well-researched book providing a much-needed global perspective. It inspires hope that implementing gender egalitarian policies can make a difference to the lives of parents who need to make difficult choices in balancing the demands of work and family. A must-read for policy makers and researchers across the world!’</i>
- Gordana Rabrenovic, Northeastern University, USA,
<i>‘This book forensically examines the crucial topic of the gendered division of labour in paid and unpaid work, especially care for children, in a wide range of countries. It prompts us to think more deeply about the complex issues involved and the changes in both cultures and policies that could most successfully address these.’</i>
