abstract: 'Childcare has become a much-debated issue in all developed countries.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Who should care for children, how, how much and for how long are the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
questions at the centre of value conflicts that shape not only policies
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
and struggles around policies, but also individual and family choices.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This article contributes to the debate in two ways. First, it presents
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
an up-to-date overview of the different childcare packages offered by
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
the 27 EU countries, indicating how they represent quite different
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
understandings of proper care, as well as of proper behaviour by mothers
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
and fathers. Second, it attempts to unravel the different dimensions
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
implicated in the debate, going beyond the simplification of the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
mother''s care vs non-family care dichotomy. It concludes that an
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
integrated research agenda, focusing both on the outcomes for labour
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
markets and for children''s well-being, is necessary in order to develop
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
policies that address the complex issues of choice, rights and social
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
inequality involved in child-caring patterns.'
