Review :
‘Chiara Saraceno has given us an engaging and concise analysis of the significance of family policy, hallmarked by her characteristic deep knowledge and critical approach.' ’Chiara Saraceno, one of the world's leading scholars of family policy through a gendered lens, covers a remarkable amount of terrain in this concise volume. The book provides an advanced but accessible introduction to family policy – clarifying components and boundaries, identifying an array of goals, and assessing diverse policy drivers. Saraceno deftly tells the story of family policy in historical and cross-national perspective, offering her readers a nuanced portrait of commonalities and variation across both time and space.'
