• Path Shifting of the Welfare State: Electoral Competition and the Expansion of Work-Family Policies in Western Europe (2013, neutral): “32 lewis 2001.”
• Patterns of Development in Work/Family Reconciliation Policies for Parents in France, Germany, the Netherlands, and the UK in the 2000s (2008, background): “Lewis (2001, 2002) has argued that there has been a shift away from policy assumptions based on the existence of a male breadwinner/female carer model family toward the promotion of an adult worker model family, while for Orloff (2006) the policy shift amounts to the “end of maternalism.””
• Parental leave regulations and the persistence of the male breadwinner model: Using fuzzy-set ideal type analysis to assess gender equality in an enlarged Europe (2012, background): “Our analysis also shows that despite claims about the demise of the male breadwinner ideal (Crompton, 1999; Lewis, 2001), this remains well-entrenched in European welfare states.”
• Determinants of a Silent (R)evolution: Understanding the Expansion of Family Policy in Rich OECD Countries (2013, background): “Gender analyses of the welfare state have greatly contributed to a better understanding of family policy (Daly and Rake 2003; Lewis 1992; Sainsbury 1994) and welfare regime theory (Ciccia and Verloo 2012; Korpi 2000; Lewis 1997; Mahon 2001; Orloff 1997; Sainsbury 1999).”
• After the Male Breadwinner Model?: Childcare Services and the Division of Labor in European Countries (2014, background): “Lewis (2001) characterizes this shift as a movement toward what she defines an adult-worker model, implying a new set of assumptions about women’s contribution to work and family.”
• Patterns of paid and unpaid work in Western Europe: gender, commodification, preferences and the implications for policy (2008, background): “Men worked full-time and women worked varying numbers of part-time hours, with a large amount of care work remaining informal (Hobson, 2004; Lewis 2001).”
• Gender and welfare state change1 (2002, background): “However, in most Western European countries, the change in the framework of ideas about the nature of the contributions that men and women make, or should make, to households, has outrun the social reality (Lewis 2001).”
• Mending Nets in the South: Anti‐poverty Policies in Greece, Italy, Portugal and Spain (2003, background): “As modern families become less able (and perhaps, less willing) to perform such functions, the pressure to formal systems of social protection intensifies (Lewis 2001).”
