abstract: 'Sociological explanations of inequality are incomplete unless they fully
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
recognize the importance of social policy regimes, the policy logics
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
embedded within them, and how policy arrangements work to stratify and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
shape daily lives. In this address, I develop my arguments by examining
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
two overlapping struggles of everyday life in the contemporary United
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
States: balancing work and family on the one hand, and securing
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
health-care services, both formal medical care and informal family care,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
on the other. Both struggles involve care deficits that are
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
significantly more serious in the United States than in other
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
high-income countries, in part because our policy regime contributes to
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
rather than counters the gendered roots of workfamily conflict.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Comparative studies hold a key to better understanding the link between
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
policy regimes and everyday lives, as illustrated by the author''s own
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
comparative research in Finland and in the United States In terms of
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
policies and policy logics that promote gender equity, paid parental

|
|
|
leave for fathers has received much recent attention from social science

|
|

scholars. Sociologists are challenged to become aware of comparative
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
social policy scholarship and to approach inequalities and the related
|
|

|

daily conflicts and strugglessuch as over care deficitsby including this

work in their analyses.'
