Description
Summary:	This comparative project, funded by the European Union and coordinated by Suzan Lewis, was carried out in eight European states. Its aim was to extend understanding of the changing contexts in which European working parents negotiate the transition to parenthood. It did this through policy analysis and an international literature review. The empirical work included case studies of one private and one public sector workplace (finance and social services) in each country, which investigated management practices in the context of national welfare state regimes and organisational change.
