Pathways to Family Policy Universalism: Coverage and Generosity of Family Policies in Global Perspective (A06)

• Subject Area: Empirical Social Research
• Term: since 2018
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 374666841

Project A06 examines the development of universalistic family policies on a global scale. For this purpose, the patterns of inclusion of different strata of the population are reconstructed. The focus is on the interactions between individual family policies and their relationship to other policy areas. Based on this, the generosity of family policy is systematically documented. In creating these generosity profiles, the benefits are made comparable not only across household types and living situations but also internationally. To explain country-specific differences, "female agency" (especially the international women's movement) is prominently included in the analysis.
