Abstract:
This article aims to advance the discussion of government policies for improving women\'s work and family life. It focuses on exploring whether it is reasonable to expect that the supported adult worker model will play an important role in guiding governments to reduce the gender employment gap and, at the same time, increase women\'s resources for strengthening their control over family and work life. This model posits that governments should take a proactive approach to encouraging women to take part in formal employment, such as providing care support measures. To examine the impact of the model, this article develops an \'input adult worker model typology\' and an \'output adult worker model typology\' using cluster analysis of comparative data covering 15 countries. The findings show that it is important not to overestimate the impact of the supported adult worker model on reducing the gender employment gap or increasing women\'s control over their lives in most of the 15 countries. The evidence generated from these typologies highlights the difficulties involved in promoting women\'s welfare despite the use of the adult worker model as a substitute for the male-breadwinner model.
摘要:
本文旨在推进政府改善妇女工作和家庭生活的政策讨论。重点探讨是否合理预期支持的成年工人模式将在引导政府缩小性别就业差距方面发挥重要作用,同时,增加妇女的资源,以加强她们对家庭和工作生活的控制。这种模式认为,政府应采取积极的方法鼓励妇女参加正式就业,例如提供护理支持措施。为了检查模型的影响,本文使用涵盖15个国家的比较数据的聚类分析,开发了“输入成年工人模型类型”和“输出成年工人模型类型”。研究结果表明,在15个国家中的大多数国家中,重要的是不要高估受支持的成年工人模式对减少性别就业差距或增加妇女对其生活的控制的影响。这些类型学产生的证据凸显了尽管使用成年工人模型代替男性养家糊口的模型,但促进妇女福利所涉及的困难。
