Resumo(s)
The main aim of this chapter is to examine how families in Portugal
caring for young children or old people in need of care reconcile their
work and caring responsibilities. As in other southern European countries,
important changes have taken place over the last few decades that
have affected the balance between work and family life. Female activity
rates have been rising since the 1960s, reaching 69 per cent in 2008,
and changes in both the attitudes to and the economic behaviour of women
have led to the continuing decline of the male breadwinner model.
At the policy level, Portuguese society has been faced with the task of
reorganising the care of children and old people, leading to developments
in both leave policies and service provision.
