内容説明
Why are most British lone mothers unemployed? And is "welfare to work" the right sort of policy response? This work provides an in-depth analysis of how lone mothers negotiate the relationship between motherhood and paid work. Combining qualitative and quantitative data, it focuses on social capital in different neighbourhoods, local labour markets and welfare states. Criticizing conventional economic theories of decision making, it posits an alternative concept of "gendered moral rationality", and sets up new frameworks for understanding national policy differences and discourses about lone motherhood.
