Abstract
The aim of this chapter is to develop a tentative classification of family policy regimes for all 27 EU member states. This classification will be developed using four variables measuring different aspects of the strategies pursued by European households in coping with the work-family balance—child-care take-up for children aged 0–3, effective parental leave, take-up of part-time work among women and, finally, spending on family policy. Based on these four indicators we have been able to cluster the 27 EU member states in five groups representing different caring models.KeywordsLabour MarketChild CareParental LeaveFamily PolicyUnpaid WorkThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
