Welfare Policies in Switzerland and Italy: Institutions, Motherhood, Family and Work in the 19th and 20th Centuries

This book provides two main contributions to the literature on the history of welfare policies and social rights in the 20th century: first, it compares the two countries from an historical prospective; second, it focuses on an under-researched area of public policies interventions, which is, however, crucial for fostering social inclusion.
