abstract: 'This article analyses public parental leave in eight northern European
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
countries, and assesses its opportunity potential to facilitate equal
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
parental involvement and employment, focusing on gender and income
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
opportunity gaps. It draws on Sen''s capability and Weber''s ideal-types
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
approach to analyze policies across countries. It offers the ideal
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
parental leave architecture, one which minimizes the policy-generated
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
gender and class inequality in parents'' opportunities to share parenting
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
and keep their jobs, thus providing real opportunities for different
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
groups of individuals to achieve valued functionings as parents. Five
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
policy indicators are created using benchmarking and graphical analysis.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Two sources of opportunity inequality are considered: the leave system
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
as the opportunity and constraint structure, and the socio-economic
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
contexts as the conversion factors. The article produces a comprehensive
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
overview of national leave policies, visually presenting leave policy
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
across countries. Considering policy capability ramifications beyond
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
gender challenges a family policy-cluster idea and the Nordic-Baltic
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
divide. It demonstrates that leave systems in northern Europe are far
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
from homogenous; they diverge in the degree to which they create real
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
opportunities for parents and children as well as in key policy
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
dimensions through which these opportunities are created.'
