This book explores the complex, evolving relationships between men,
masculinities, and social welfare in contemporary context. It is
inspired by themes examined in ‘Men, Gender Divisions and
Welfare’, an edited collection published in 1998 by Popay, Hearn,
and Edwards. While international policy agendas reflect a growing
commitment to critically addressing the relations between men,
masculinities, and policy, in policy and popular discussions,
societies continue to grapple with the question of ‘what to do with
men?’ This question reflects an ongoing tension between the
persistence of men’s power and control over welfare and policy
development, alongside their ostensible avoidance of welfare services.
The collection constitutes an up-to-date account of the gendered and
social implications of policy and practice change for men, and their
inherent contradictions and complexities, tracing both stability and
change over the past 25 years. This book will appeal to students and
scholars in diverse fields, particularly in sociology, social policy,
applied social sciences, gerontology, gender studies, youth studies,
welfare studies, politics, and social geography. Given the volume’s
empirical attention throughout to both policies and practice
developments, it will also be of interest to those training in applied
and vocational degrees such as health and social care, social work,
family support, and health visiting.
