AnnotationThere has been a shift away from one of the key principles underpinning welfare state provision: our assumption of a model family comprising a male breadwinner and a female homemaker-carer. An international conference at the University of Leeds in January 2001 considered questions regarding alternative care and work regimes, and the effects on gender equality and women's autonomy. This special issue of Critical Social Policy presents revised versions of conference papers on policies affecting work, care, the family and welfare provision in the UK, Sweden, the Netherlands, the US, and Australia.
