Research objectives in Work Package 2:
• Examine the impact of civil society based actions and claims on childcare and parental leave policies
• Explore how the broad variety of women’s demands in relation to caring and parental issues has been reflected in and taken
up by the women’s movements and other NGO’s
• Examine and assess the economic, socio-political and cultural opportunity structures that facilitate and hamper activism
and claim-making in childcare and parental leave issues
• Outline future paths for gender-based activism and policy-making in childcare and parental leave policy. In this context
both majority and minority women’s possibilities to achieve political voice and to influence mainstream policy-making will
be explored
• Assess and compare best practice in childcare and parental leave policies in various parts of Europe and to identify ways
of developing women’s full social citizenship in a multicultural Europe
• Analyze whether there are signs if patterns of convergence in childcare and family policies in Europe and to examine the
role of the EU in this matter
