From Foster Mothers to Child Care Centers: A History of Working Mothers and Child Care in Sweden
从关怀视角审视瑞典福利国家历史，探讨职业母亲的儿童保育安排如何从寄养转向公共保育，并指出公共政策不仅使母亲成为劳动者，也使她们成为照护者。
The Swedish welfare state is usually considered "woman friendly." It treats mothers, including single mothers, as workers and offers them high quality public child care. Feminist typologies often use paid work as the lens through which to look at welfare states. Jane Jenson, however, proposes that we think seriously about care in typologies of welfare states. The aim of this article is to take the child care arrangements of working mothers seriously and the empirical concern is historical. While most people believe that the expansion of public child care in Sweden enabled mothers to become workers, it could also be argued- looking through the lens of care- that new public policies enabled women workers to become caregivers.
