Fiona Williams will analyse the extent to which the distribution of three sets of responsibilities for child care provision is shifting in Western and Southern Europe: responsibility between state and family; the economic and caring responsibilities between mothers and fathers; and the transnational redistribution of care work between poorer and richer regions, within and outside Europe. She will then go on to ask how far a political ethic of care can be developed to encompass local, national and international relations and policies for care.
