Journal Article
A Welfare State Paradox: State Interventions and Women’s Employment Opportunities in 22 Countries
2006
Overview
This study explores the role played by the welfare state in affecting women's labor force participation & occupational achievement. Using data from 22 industrialized countries, the authors examine the consequences of state interventions for both women's employment patterns & gender inequality in occupational attainment. The findings reveal a twofold effect: developed welfare states facilitate women's access into the labor force but not into powerful & desirable positions. Specifically, nations characterized by progressive & developed welfare policies & by a large public service sector tend to have high levels of female labor force participation, along with a high concentration of women in female-typed occupations & low female representation in managerial occupations. The findings provide insights into the social mechanisms underlying the relations between welfare states' benefits to working mothers & women's participation & achievements in the labor market.
