abstract: 'Comparative welfare state research as examined the outcomes of active
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
labour market policies (ALMP) and work-family reconciliation policies by
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
and large been separately. As a result, potential complementarities
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
between these policy areas have received scant attention empirically.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Using macro-level data, this study answers the question to what extent,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
and in which way, governments'' efforts in ALMP and in early childhood
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
education and care (ECEC) services are complementary to each other in
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
promoting women''s employment rates and reducing women''s unemployment and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
inactivity rates in 30 OECD countries from 1985 to 2018. The article
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
theorises about how the various policies that constitute a welfare state
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
relate to each other, distinguishing between pluralism, complementarity
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
and substitutability. These findings provide support for the notion of
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
welfare pluralism, in the sense that ALMP and ECEC policies work
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
together in improving women''s employment rates in slightly different
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
ways: ALMP achieve this through reducing women''s unemployment rates,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
whereas ECEC also achieve lower inactivity rates for women. There was,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
however, more support for the notion of substitution rather than
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
complementarity: the marginal benefits associated with an increase in
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
either ALMP or ECEC were smaller in the context of large investments in
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
the other policy. In other words, the highest rates of women''s
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
employment, and the lowest rates of unemployment and inactivity, are
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
found in countries with large investments in both ALMP and ECEC, but
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
such higher investments are associated with diminishing returns.'
