TRANSFORMING GENDERED WELL-BEING IN EUROPE
Gender and Well-Being
Series Editors: Cristina Borderas, Professor of Contemporary History,
University of Barcelona, Spain and Bernard Harris, professor of the History
of Social policy, university of Southampton, uK
The aim of this series is to enhance our understanding of the relationship between gender and well-being by addressing the following questions:
How can we compare levels of well-being between women and men?
Is it possible to develop new indicators which reflect a fuller understanding of the nature of well-being in the twenty-first century?
How have women and men contributed to the improvement of individual well-being at different times and in different places?
What role should institutions play in promoting and maintaining well-being?
In what ways have different social movements contributed to the improvement of well-being over the last 300 years?
The volumes in this series are designed to provide rigorous social-scientific answers to these questions. The series emerges from a series of symposia, organized as part of COST Action 34 on Gender and Well-being: Work, Family and Public Policies. Participants were drawn from disciplines including economics, demography, history, sociology, social policy and anthropology and they represent more than 20 European countries.
