Abstract: | Mens care patterns are relatively inelastic despite dramaticshifts in womens labor force participation. The articlerecommends a caregiving analogue to workfare that would usepolicy more aggressively to influence mens choices betweenemployment and care. The "carefair" concept is defended by invokingtwo arguments for enforcing work duties common in liberal regimes:the moral hazard argument and the new paternalist competenceargument. The logics explicit in these arguments resonate substantiallywith theorists and practitioners in the liberal cultural milieuand can be appropriated to justify state intervention that wouldchallenge both patriarchal socialization patterns and economicincentives. |
