Politicising and gendering care for older people
This book offers a new critical framework for understanding the processes of politicising and gendering care for older people and their manifestations in several European contexts. It interrogates how care for older adults varies across time and place while searching for an in-depth comprehension of how it becomes an arena of political struggle and the object of public policy in different countries and at various societal and political levels. It brings together multidisciplinary contributions that examine the issue of care for older people as a political concern from many angles, such as problematising care needs, long-term care policies, home care services, institutional services and family care. The contributions reveal the diversity of situations in which the processes of politicising and gendering care for older adults overlap, contradict or reinforce each other while leading to increased gender (in)equalities on different levels.
Cohabitation in Europe
Originating from discussions about the reasons for, and regional variations behind, the remarkable rise in cohabitation that started in the 1970s – a rise that continues to this day – this book explores the main stimuli behind cohabitation. The variation in levels of cohabitation cannot be explained solely by regional differences, religious affiliation, nationality, levels of education, or by the varying rate in which contraceptive measures spread across Europe. The book also focuses on the ways in which cohabitants are legitimized or rejected by certain communities. Did communities develop specific terms to define cohabitation and because of which underlying reasons were these different...
Quem Cuidará de Mim? - Problemáticas em Torno dos Cuidados (In)formais
Quem cuidará de mim? Mais cedo ou mais tarde, colocamo-nos esta questão. Receamos o modo como vamos envelhecer, sem sabermos qual será o apoio que teremos disponível por parte da família, do Estado, das entidades privadas. O envelhecimento da população, o aumento da esperança de vida e a maior incidência de doenças crónicas, associados a uma menor disponibilidade familiar e feminina de cuidar a tempo inteiro, vão aumentar as necessidades de cuidados formais à população idosa nas próximas décadas. Este ensaio apresenta e analisa a problemática atual dos cuidadores informais, avalia a implementação do Estatuto do Cuidador em Portugal e reflete sobre o papel que os sistemas de proteção social podem desempenhar no apoio aos cuidadores. Encontrar soluções para a crise global dos cuidados dependerá do reconhecimento do papel da família e da valorização do cuidado profissional, articulando políticas públicas de forma integrada.
Moi aussi
Ce livre est un dialogue entre les deux parts de moi-même : celle que j’exprime publiquement par mon travail ; celle que j’ai toujours gardée pour moi et mes proches. D’un côté, cet essai de sciences sociales fait la généalogie de MeToo. Trois révolutions du permis et de l’interdit sexuels ont jalonné l’histoire de nos sociétés : l’invention du rapt de séduction au xvie siècle ; l’imposition d’un ordre matrimonial sécularisé en 1804 ; l’égalité de sexe à partir des années 1970. D’un autre côté, ce livre est un récit à la première personne. En écrivant « Moi aussi » sur ma page Facebook dès 2017, j’ai pensé à ce qui m'était arrivé à l’â...
Disability and Labour in the Twentieth Century
This volume puts disability and labour at the centre of historical enquiry. It offers fresh perspectives on the history of disability and labour in the twentieth century and highlights the need to address the topic beyond regional boundaries. Bringing together historians and disability scholars from a variety of disciplines and regions, the chapters investigate various historical settings, ranging from work cooperatives to disability associations and informal workplaces, and analyse multiple meanings of labour in different political and economic systems through the lens of disability. The book’s contributors demonstrate that the nexus between labour and disability in modern, industrialised...
Mothers, Families or Children?
Mothers, Families, or Children? is the first comparative-historical study of family policies in Poland, Hungary, and Romania from 1945 until the eve of the global pandemic in 2020. The book highlights the emergence, consolidation, and perseverance of three types of family policies based on “mother-orientation” in Poland, “family orientation” in Hungary, and “child-orientation” in Romania. It uses a new theoretical framework to identify core and contingent clusters of benefits and services in each country and trace their development across time and under different political regimes, before and after 1989. It also examines and compares policy continuity and change with special attention to institutions, ideas, and actors involved in decision making and reform. As family policies continue to evolve in the era of European Union membership and new governmental and societal actors emerge, this study reveals mechanisms that help preserve core family policy clusters while allowing reform in contingent ones in each country.
