"Family Policy Paradoxes" examines the political regulation of the family in Sweden between 1930 and today. It draws attention to the political attempts to create a 'modern family', and the aspiration to regulate the family and install gender equality. It thereby sheds light on ongoing policy processes within Europe and how these can be understood in the light of a particular political experience. The book is valuable for researchers, lecturers, undergraduate and graduate students who study gender, gender equality and welfare state development in Gender Studies, Sociology, Social and Public Policy, Social Work, Politics and Social/Contemporary History.
