V originále

This research examines how the state (welfare state) and the market (employers/work organizations) contribute to the social welfare of families. It explores the interplay between the family and the work-family policies provided by the state and the market. Concretely, we focus on the relationship between work organizations and work-family reconciliation policies and arrangements. As employers play an important role in the implementation of employer-level work-family arrangements but also some statutory family policies, this chapter provides insights into their substitutive and complementary roles. We review the existing literature and conceptually address the following research questions: Do employers contribute to the production of family welfare and if yes, then how? How do employer-level work-family reconciliation policies align with statutory family policies? To what extent do employer-provided policies substitute for or complement state family policies? Is there any relationship between employer-level arrangements and welfare state regimes? How do employer-level arrangements and their availability vary across different welfare state regimes?
