“…The centrality of the family enables welfare states to rely on the family as an alternative to the state and market and thereby limit, or deflect, state spending on services and benefits intended to deal with specific needs. Thus, we find that despite a marked growth in female labour market participation in most of these countries, care for the young, the sick and the elderly is still very much the responsibility of the family (Andreotti et al, 2001;Graselli et al, 2006;Moreno, 2004).…”

The goal of this article is to suggest that an extended family of Mediterranean welfare states exists and that it consists of eight different nations, some of which have been ignored in the ongoing discourse on Mediterranean welfare states. More specifically, it is claimed that the extended family of Mediterranean welfare states includes Cyprus, Greece, Israel, Italy, Malta, Spain, Portugal and Turkey. The article underscores a number of features common to members of this extended family of welfare states. Finally, three overarching themes that, in the past and present, appear to underlie the commonalities of Mediterranean welfare states and that can offer potential fruitful avenues for further study will be identified and discussed. These are religion, family and the role of clientelist-particularist relations in the structuring and functioning of welfare state institutions.

“…3 In contrast, the Spanish welfare system no longer embraces the ideology of familialism, but certain welfare programmes (especially the social security system) reinforces it in practice (León, 2002). Despite the recent incorporation of Spanish women to the labour market (Moreno, 2004), female labour participation is still low in comparative perspective (Roit et al, 2015;Valiente, 2009) and there is still an important conflict between the new work-related model and the old family model (Valiente, 2002). Women usually bear the burden of extra domestic work and the care of dependent individuals at home, tasks traditionally assigned to them.…”

This research investigates individual expectations of economic support from different sources: partner, family, friends and formal help. Using data from the International Social Survey Programme (ISSP) the study compares Norway, as representative of the Scandinavian model, and Spain, as representative of the Mediterranean model. The findings confirm that family plays a more important role as a source of economic support in Spain while formal help is far more important in Norway. Moreover, gender and life course have a significant impact on expectations of economic support in both countries, although the differences do not go in the same direction. Women expect more financial support from their partners than men do in Norway, while Spanish women tend to rely more on support from their families. Regarding life course, although expectations of economic support from the family are higher for young and older people in both countries, the life-cycle effect is stronger in Spain.

“…In these circumstances, working mothers have often been driven to hyperactivity. Such 'superwomen' could only undertake demanding professional activities in the labour market if they were prepared to combine them with full unpaid caring work in households (Moreno 2004).…”
