Abstract
This chapter looks at the intellectual and political debate that led to the overhaul of family policy in the late 1960s and the 1970s. A sex-role debate, a radicalisation of the equality rhetoric within the labour movement, and heightened labour-market intervention on behalf of women were some of the ingredients of the political climate of the 1960s. The end result was a gender-neutral and gender-equal family ideal, and a radical breach with the male-breadwinner ideal of the post-war period.
