AB - This paper focuses on the relationships between women’s participation in the western German labor market and German social policies in the 1990s with regard to the male breadwinner and dual-earner models. In that decade, while employment prospects grew precarious and unemployment increased in newly unified Germany, the family form was changing and diversifying. Due to both sets of factors, women increasingly focused on participation in the labor market. In addition, women’s cultural values with regard to gender divisions were in flux. In particular they sought to reconcile work and family after childbirth. This paper analyzes whether the welfare state in western Germany properly responded to the changes with social policies with regard to child care, parental leave, pensions, and access to positions. It is assumed that the disadvantages facing women entering the labor market result from the internal contradictions of women’s perceived cultural value and from social policies that have been influenced by traditional social values with regard to gender and work.
