Family Policies in ´Hybrid? Welfare States after the Crisis: Pathways between Policy Expansion and Retrenchment
Original language description
The economic crisis has significantly challenged national welfare states and has often led to retrenchment. The question arises how countries have reacted to the crisis in the area of family policy ? not directly connected to rising unemployment and alsonot as demanding for state spending as for example the pension system. This article analyzes family policy reforms during the crisis in three small European welfare states ? Austria, the Czech Republic and Slovenia. Focusing on the ´rationale? behind the reforms, it aims to explore how family policy was affected by the crisis and whether the crisis gave rise to new policy pathways and ideas in the area. The exploratory case studies of reforms conducted in the three countries between 2009 and 2013 showthat everywhere the pre-crisis policy pathways were also continued in the period of crisis. The reforms were framed by diverse paradigms related to national-specific contexts along with newly emerged austerity arguments.
