This study, a fundamental contribution to social policy and social-welfare theory, compares recent efforts to restructure social programs for low-income mothers in four countries: Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom. While these countries are sometimes classified as 'liberal' welfare states, this book demonstrates that they vary considerably in terms of benefit development, expectations concerning maternal employment, and restructuring processes."--Jacket. 410 0$aStudies in comparative political economy and public policy ;$v8. 606 $aMothers$xGovernment policy$vCross-cultural studies 606 $aPoor women$xGovernment policy$vCross-cultural studies 606 $aPublic welfare$vCross-cultural studies 606 $aEmployability$vCross-cultural studies 607 $aKanada$2swd 607 $aKanada$2gnd 607 $aNeuseeland$2gnd 607 $aGrossbritannien$2gnd 607 $aAustralien$2gnd 608 $aCross-cultural studies. 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aMothers$xGovernment policy 615 0$aPoor women$xGovernment policy 615 0$aPublic welfare 615 0$aEmployability 676 $a362.83/9 700 $aBaker$b Maureen$01599398 702 $aTippin$b David John$f1952- 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910807187503321 996 $aPoverty, social assistance, and the employability of mothers$94022118 997 $aUNINA
