Description: "South European states have often been neglected in comparative research, and generalizations about the nature of gender inequalities have been made about the region on the basis of only single country studies, often without the benefit of up-to-date comparable data." "This book contains two major innovations: it presents studies of the recent situation on gender inequalities and associated patterns of work and welfare in all south European countries, and it focuses on the interaction of the three major societal institutions - the State, the family and the labour market - using new statistical data sources."--BOOK JACKET.
