Childcare, Choice and Class Practices

Focusing on childcare policy and practice, this book delves into the choices of middle-class parents while considering the broader implications of social class, gender roles, and societal views on 'good' parenting. It addresses the ongoing debates surrounding childcare, particularly in the context of New Labour's agenda, highlighting how these issues resonate in the UK and globally. The study provides a critical examination of how social reproduction and class fractions influence parenting decisions and the accessibility of childcare options.
