Following the 2006 election, the Swedish earner-carer model of family policy seems to have come to an important crossroads, and questions have been raised about the future course of policies. Will the prototypical earner-carer model in Sweden persist? The separate reforms in cash transfers, services, and tax systems in several respects seem to point in contradictory directions, simultaneously introducing new principles of social care. In this article, past and present reforms and potential outcomes of policies are discussed from an institutional and comparative perspective. Reviewing research on outcomes of earner-carer policies for gendered patterns of productive and reproductive work, class-based stratification, child well-being, fertility, and work-family conflict, the article also contributes to the discussion about future challenges for family policy institutions in Sweden and other advanced welfare states.
2006 年选举后，瑞典的养家者照顾者家庭政策模式似乎到了一个重要的十字路口，人们对政策的未来走向提出了质疑。瑞典的典型养家者照顾者模式还会持续吗？现金转移、服务和税收制度方面的单独改革在几个方面似乎指向了相互矛盾的方向，同时引入了新的社会关怀原则。本文从制度和比较的角度讨论了过去和现在的改革以及政策的潜在结果。通过回顾关于养家者照顾者政策对生产性和生殖性工作的性别模式、基于阶级的分层、儿童福利、生育率和工作家庭冲突的结果的研究，本文也为讨论瑞典和其他先进福利国家的家庭政策制度的未来挑战做出了贡献。
