Isi artikel

Since the early 1990s, liberal welfare regimes have begun to treat lone parents asa workers rather than as carers. This has happened in conjunction with an angoing 'moral panic' about the need to develope policies to invest in children, and to protect them adult worlds. The purpose of this article is to analyse contradictions within and beetween these strands of policy in two liberal welfare states-Australia and the UK. The article argues that recent welfare-to-work policies in both countries bring into sharp relief the contradictions inherent in assumptions that welfare states make about the agency of lone parents as workes and carers, and of childre as incompetent.
