Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Care for Australia's children and elderly is provided in a mixed economy, in which for-profit providers are playing an increasingly important role alongside more traditional government and non-government organisations. Does the growth of for-profit provision affect the quality of services or of jobs in paid care? Does it change the political dynamics of the social care sector in contemporary welfare states? How might service users, their families, and organisations work together to sustain and improve the quality of care services? What theories and evidence help us to understand the process and consequences of the shift toward for-profit provision of social care? In nine chapters by leading researchers, this book explores these and other questions, to inform policy and practice in this key field of social policy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Child care is a political issue of increasing importance to governments, unions, employers and parents. Once provided by charitable groups and available only to those deemed underprivileged, issues surrounding the provision of child care have now become part of the mainstream political agenda. This book, the first comprehensive history of child care in Australia, examines the factors behind this transition. It also compares Australia's child care provisions with those of other countries, particularly Britain, the USA, and Scandinavia.

Book excerpt: Demand for childcare has soared over the past decade as Australian families seek to reconcile work and care responsibilities. But the cost of care keeps rising, waiting lists in many metropolitan centres are long, and high quality services are not always available. Australia's system of early childhood education and care is fragmented, and the major political parties have failed to take a comprehensive approach to policy development. So what would a good system of early childhood education and care in Australia look like? In this book, a selection of Australia's leading early childhood researchers, teachers, advocates and social policy experts consider: The goals of a good national system How a high quality and equitable early childhood education and care system can be delivered. What makes quality care? Who should provide and who should pay? Training and professional development for workers Regulation and funding of services The authors offer a comprehensive set of policy principles that would deliver a better early childhood education and care regime for Australian children and their families.

Book excerpt: Whether childcare is seen as part of society's educational policy, welfare policy, or employment policy affects not only its form and content but also its public image. The contributors in this volume use current polices for the care of infants and preschool children to analyze debates and track the emergence of new state welfare practices across a variety of social and political configurations-and offer some conclusions about which methods work the best.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A unique two-volume examination of the progress women have made in achieving political equality, Women and Politics around the World addresses both transnational and gender-related issues as well as specific conditions in more than 20 countries. Women and Politics around the World: A Comparative History and Survey is an exploration of the role of women in political systems worldwide, as well as an examination of how government actions in various countries have an impact on the lives of the female population. Women and Politics around the World divides its coverage into two volumes. The first looks at such crucial issues facing women today as health policy, civil rights, and education, comparing conditions around the world. The second volume profiles 22 different countries, representing a broad range of governments, economies, and cultures. Each profile looks at the history and current state of women's political and economic participation in a particular country, and includes an in-depth look at a representative policy. The result is a resource unlike any other—one that gives students, researchers, and other interested readers a fresh new way of investigating a truly global issue.
