abstract: 'Twenty years on this article reengages with Fraser''s call for feminist ``systematic reconstructive thinking{''''} on how to reform welfare and employment systems. It complements Fraser''s vision of a universal caregiver world by identifying reforms to promote and support a gender-equal society, including delinking social protection from employment, delivering a new reproductive bargain and developing policies to reverse flexibilisation and extend employer obligations. The aim is to reduce gender inequality in all aspects of reproductive and wage work (time, opportunities, resources, respect, security, etc.). To avoid any inadvertent support for neoliberalism, the consequences for social equity and human productive potential are also considered.' affiliation: 'Rubery, J (Corresponding Author), Univ Manchester, Alliance Manchester Business Sch, Manchester M15 6PB, Lancs, England.
