The necessary condition of equality
machineries
This article analyses the relation between
political pressure of women and policy
change in the field of childcare provision,
parental leave and part-time work. Policy
changes in six West European Welfare
states are compared on the basis of Qualitative
Comparative Analysis. The analysis
shows that political pressure of women
performed via equality machineries is
a necessary condition for policy change
on work and family life, while neither the
presence of the women’s movement or
women in national Parliaments are necessary
conditions.
