“…Indeed, many developed countries have adopted practices that virtually forbid additional income during maternity leave (Tavora, 2012). For example, under some policies, if additional income is received during paid maternity leave, the state compensation to the mother is decreased or even terminated for some period; although such regulation is designed to encourage women to spend more time with their newborns rather than focussing on means for financing their lives (Hank and Steinbach, 2019), it may also create conditions for informal economy activities (Uribe et al, 2019). This argumentation leads to our fifth hypothesis:…”

PurposeThe present paper seeks to reveal the factors underlying the intentions of women on maternity leave to engage in informal economy activities.Design/methodology/approachA representative cross sectional survey of 417 women on maternity leave was selected as a main research approach. A structural equation modelling – partial equation modelling served as a research tool.FindingsThe study revealed that the most important determinants of intentions to become involved in informal economy activities during maternity leave are unsatisfactory financial situation, complicated legal regulation and fear of becoming uncompetitive in the labour market.Originality/valueTo the best of authors’ knowledge, it is the first scientific attempt to investigate the informal work/economy during maternal leave.

“…But we need to temper this interpretation somewhat by recognizing the broader origins of family policy and the philosophical underpinnings involved. The deep roots of family policy lie especially in the institutional and legal context and how the institutions governing family life-like marriage, parenthood, and childhood-have been and are legally constituted (see Hank & Steinbach, 2019, for a recent overview). These are very long-standing.…”

This chapter focuses on the conceptualization of family policy as well as identifying the main trends and policy reforms. The chapter first sets out an analytic framework. This underlines the complexity of family policy and the necessity to see it as relating to both family structure and family-related behavior. The chapter then proceeds to identify major contemporary trends, focusing on three main areas of family policy: income supports for families with children, early childhood education and care and parenting-related leaves from employment. It shows family policy as dynamic and seeking to balance a series of tensions between resourcing families on the one hand and regulating them on the other. At issue is the balance to be struck between continuity in the structure of families, in their economic and social organization and in regard to the relative resourcing of different generations and life phases.

“…The purpose of employing cooperation and outsourcing is to promote exchanges and cooperation with social forces such as scientific research institutions and enterprises to solve the government's shortage of professionals and issues regarding single service supply and other problems, and to expand family support channels. Reward and encouragement are used to encourage family members to help each other and involve family allowances and flexible working hours, which will enhance intergenerational solidarity and the family care function [27,72]. Government purchases include family care services and public goods that will help meet the basic needs of families.…”

Family policy involves a combination of policies enacted to address various family problems and improve the sustainable development of families. Evaluating family policy by considering policy instruments is conducive to optimizing policy allocation and promoting this sustainable development. This study constructs a two-dimensional analysis framework of policy instruments and policy themes and employs content analysis to conduct a quantitative analysis of 112 family policy texts issued by the Chinese government. The results show that the policy instruments used in China are not effective. The study also shows that environmental policy instruments are most frequently used, but the internal structure is unbalanced; supply-side policy instruments are moderately used; and the use of demand-side policy instruments is obviously limited. Policy themes focus excessively on “safeguard measures” and pay less attention to “parental welfare and protection”. Overall, China’s family policy is still in its infancy, as it focuses mainly on assistance and remains incomplete. Therefore, the parties responsible for the formulation of family policy should adjust and optimize the combinations of policy instruments that are employed are required to consider “general welfare”, and promote the two-dimensional integration of policy instruments and policy themes.
