The Unfinished Revolution

The changes and transformations experienced in recent decades, the decline of the "logic of industrialism" and the expansion of the service sector, globalization and neoliberal economic policies deeply affect social life in all aspects, but especially in cultural and economic aspects. Families where the man is the breadwinner are decreasing, and the number of families in which the woman contributes to the family economy, which was considered "atypical" at the time, is rapidly increasing. In The Unfinished Revolution, Gosta Esping-Andersen thinks about the changing positions of women in all these upheavals and the silent revolution in women's roles.
Unfinished Revolution, which addresses many issues such as social inequalities and new forms of inequality, the transformation in the family policies of the social welfare state, spouses' attitudes towards child care and housework, the decline in fertility rates, the situation in women's employment, differences between generations, poverty, etc., within the framework of the role of women in today's world, addresses the problems experienced. It reveals how different societies responded.

Emphasizing the role of the welfare state as a trigger for a stable, new gender equality balance, Esping-Andersen seeks the answer to a key question for the women's revolution, which she thinks will develop further: "How should the welfare state be adapted to these new roles of women?" It is a very important book for those interested in both social inequalities and welfare state analyses.
