Kate Bezanson's Gender, the State, and Social Reproduction is the first study to consider the implications of those policies for gender relations - that is, how women and men, families, and households coped with these changes, and how division of labour and standards of living were affected. Bezanson also considers implications of neo-liberalism more generally, for the lives of people living under such regimes. Beginning with an outline of the restructuring experiment which took place under the Conservative government between 1995 and 2000, Bezanson shows how this process dramatically altered the scope of the welfare state, labour market protections and conditions, and the capacity for people to manage and plan their own lives. She combines this detailed investigation of the changes introduced by Harris with data collected in in-depth interviews of selected Ontario households, in order to examine how neo-liberalism affects daily lives, particularly of low income people, and especially of women. Ultimately, Bezanson finds that the neo-liberal restructuring of Ontario in the 1990s consolidated a gender regime that was highly unsustainable for poor households, many of which were lead by women. A controversial and illuminating study, Gender, the State, and Social Reproduction crosses the disciplines of politics, history, gender studies, and sociology. 606 $aStructural adjustment (Economic policy)$zOntario 606 $aWomen$zOntario$xEconomic conditions$y20th century 606 $aPoor$zOntario$xEconomic conditions$y20th century 606 $aNeoliberalism$zOntario$xNeoliberalism$y20th century 607 $aOntario$xSocial policy 607 $aOntario$xPolitics and government 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aStructural adjustment (Economic policy) 615 0$aWomen$xEconomic conditions 615 0$aPoor$xEconomic conditions 615 0$aNeoliberalism$xNeoliberalism 676 $a330.97104 700 $aBezanson$b Kate$0965420 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910456529003321 996 $aGender, the state, and social reproduction$92479032 997 $aUNINA
