abstract: 'This article explores tradeoffs reflecting interaction effects between

  socioeconomic class and different types of family policies on gender

  inequalities in terms of agency and economic inequality in eighteen

  Organization for Economic and Cultural Development countries. We

  identify multiple dimensions in family policies, reflecting the extent

  to which legislation involves claim rights supporting mothers'' paid work

  or supporting traditional homemaking. We use constellations of

  multidimensional policies in combination with multilevel analysis to

  examine effects on class selectivity of women into employment and glass

  ceilings with respect to women''s access to top wages and managerial

  positions. Our results indicate that while major negative family policy

  effects for women with tertiary education are difficult to find in

  countries with well-developed policies supporting women''s employment and

  work-family reconciliation, family policies clearly differ in the extent

  to which they improve opportunities for women without university

  education.'
