Across Europe the social, economic and political environment within which families do so has been subject to substantial change in the post-World War II era and governments have come under increasing pressure to engage with this important area of public policy. In the UK, as elsewhere, the tensions which lie at the heart of the paid work/unpaid care conflict remain unresolved posing substantial difficulties for all of law's subjects both as carers and as the recipients of care. What seems like a relatively simple goal (to enable families to better balance care-giving and paid employment) has been subject to and shaped by shifting priorities over time leading to a variety of often conflicting policy approaches. This book critiques how working families in the UK have been subject to regulation. It aims to: Chart the development of the UK's law and policy framework by focusing on the post-war era and the growth and decline of the welfare state with a longer historical trajectory considered where appropriate; Suggest an alternative policy approach based on Martha Fineman's vulnerability theory in which the vulnerable subject replaces the liberal subject as the focus of legal intervention. This reorientation enables a more inclusive and cohesive policy approach and has great potential to contribute to the reconciliation of the unresolved conflict between paid work and care-giving"--Provided by the publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 505 0 $a Introduction -- Women and Work -- Mothers and Fathers -- Children's Welfare -- Eldercare -- Conclusions : Strains, Stereotypes, Strategies and Solutions. 650 0 $a Social legislation $z Great Britain $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Working class families $x History $z Great Britain $x History $y 20th century. 650 7 $a Social legislation. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01122625 651 7 $a Great Britain. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204623 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 648 7 $a 1900-1999 $2 fast 776 08 $i Online version: $a Busby, Nicole. $t A history of regulating working families. $d Oxford ; New York : Hart, 2020 $z 9781509904617 $w (DLC) 2020012534 700 1 $a James, Grace, $d 1972- $e author. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20220526020224.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=E2283890323411EC8B1165C359ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
