Opis

Focusing on gender divisions in welfare, the author of this text explores the growing social concern with what to do with men. Key themes are the persistence of power and control by men in welfare and at the same time men's avoidance of welfare services. Chapters include discussions of: male violence; men as carers of spouses with disabilities; fatherhood; and unemployed men with employed partners. The book brings together theory and analysis of troubled masculinities in social policy, and is aimed at social workers and health professionals as well as students of social policy and women's studies.
