Industry Reviews

"This collection of essays offers a timely account of a range of gender- and family- related policies in a number of EU Member States. ... Across the various chapters there is a great depth of information, and the book provides some very interesting insights into the case studies presented. One key theme that emerges across all chapters, is the role of culture in achieving or hampering the movement towards gender equality." (Muireann O'Dwyer, Journal of Common Market Studies JCMS, Vol. 56 (2), March, 2018)
