abstract: 'This study is the first to explicitly assess the connections between
welfare state spending and the gendered and classed dimensions of unpaid
care work across 29 European nations. Our research uses multi-level
model analysis of European Quality of Life Survey data, examining
childcare and housework burdens for people living with at least one
child under the age of 18. Two key findings emerge: First, by
disaggregating different types of unpaid care work, we find that
childcare provision is more gendered than classed-reflecting trends
toward ``intensive mothering{''''}. Housework and cooking, on the
contrary, demonstrate both gender and class effects, likely because they
are more readily outsourced by wealthier individuals to the paid care
sector. Second, while overall social expenditure has no effect on hours
spent on childcare and housework, results suggest that family policy may
shape the relationship between gender, income, and housework (but not
childcare). Specifically, family policy expenditure is associated with a
considerably smaller gender gap vis-a-vis the time dedicated to
housework: This effect is present across the income spectrum, but is
particularly substantial in the case of lower income women.'
