This Research Handbook provides a comprehensive exploration of recent advances in social care policy scholarship. Spanning a breadth of issues and policy programmes, it presents a systematic, empirically and theoretically grounded overview of social care policy research, addressing a notable gap in a field often dominated by issue or country-specific studies.Recognising that social care is emerging as a respected and institutionalized public policy field, this Research Handbook investigates how social care policies have gained momentum across the globe and documents the development of contemporary literature in this area. The Handbook presents a topical and global overview of social care policies for children, frail older people and adults with disabilities, exploring the institutional setting of care systems, care policies and related trends. Chapter authors assess care work's (in)formalization, marketization, quality and affordability, as well as exploring care poverty, inequality, and the consequences of the pandemic for care.A crucial read for social care policy scholars, this Handbook is also a vital resource for academics, researchers and students of social work, social policy, sociology, political science, public administration studies, gender studies, childcare, and disability studies.

The five Nordic countries, Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden, are well-known for their extensive welfare system and gender equality which provides both parents with opportunities to earn and care for their children. In this topical book, expert scholars from the Nordic countries, as well as UK and the US, demonstrate how modern fatherhood is supported in the Nordic setting through family and social policies, and how these contribute to shaping and influencing the images, roles and practices of fathers in a diversity of family settings and variations of fatherhoods. This comprehensive volume will have wide international appeal for those who look to Nordic countries and their success in creating gender equal societies.

Our societies are ageing, and we need to identify sustainable and person-centred solutions for supporting frail older people in their homes.Reablement offers a radical new integrated care approach which supports older people to regain and maintain functioning and independence. This interdisciplinary book provides an introduction to the remarkable, if haphazard, international growth in reablement policies and practices in aged care over the past 20 years. Incorporating theoretical and empirical research, it considers benefits for clients and care workers, cost-saving potentials and reablement provision for people with dementia. Finally, the book reflects on key findings, challenges and the way forward for long-term care for older people.The introduction, 'The concept, rationale, and implications of reablement', is available Open Access via Bristol University Press Digital.

Across the globe, family policy is becoming ever more important in tackling key issues such as poverty, child welfare and the state of the economy in general. The Handbook of Family Policy examines how state and workplace policies support parents and their children in developing, earning and caring.With original contributions from 45 leading scholars, this Handbook provides readers with up-to-date knowledge on family policies and family policy research, taking stock of current literature as well as providing analyses of present-day policies, and where they should head in the future. The Handbook is divided into five main sections: history, concepts, theory and methods of family policy research; family policies; family policy models; outcomes of family policies; and future challenges for family policy making and research.Beneficial for both scholars already familiar with the field as well as newcomers, this Handbook provides important insights into the architecture and mechanisms of different family policy models. Family policy makers would also greatly benefit from the detailed advice on how family policies may adapt and progress in the future.Contributors include: S.-h. Baek, U. Björnberg, M. Blofield, J.
