Some members of the list may be interested of a review of
existing comparative research on social care. This
'state-of-the-art' report is available at
http://www.uta.fi/laitokset/sospol/soccare and it was produced
for the European Commission as a part of the SOCCARE project.
The SOCCARE project is a comparative research project funded by
FP5, Socio-Economic Key Action, studying the strategies of
families in five European countries to combine informal and
formal care with employment.
In addition to the review report, first empirical reports of the
project are also available at the same address. They report
about care arrangements of lone parents in Finland, France,
Italy, Portugal and the UK.
