这篇文章提供了一种方法来揭示育儿假和托儿服务政策背后的潜在结构。它的构建是为了从国家比较的角度揭示国家对儿童保育和性别角色的社会组织的假设。立法是这一分析的核心，政策组成部分的组合占据了中心舞台。提出了一个国家陌生化指数，并对8个后社会主义欧盟(EU)国家的分析潜力进行了测试。它以莱特纳对“各种家庭主义”的概念为基础，衡量了三种政策类型：(1)斯洛文尼亚和立陶宛支持的非家庭主义鼓励妇女继续就业和积极为人父；(2)匈牙利、捷克共和国和爱沙尼亚的显性家庭主义支持家庭育儿，并加强有性别的育儿；(3)波兰、斯洛伐克和拉脱维亚的隐性家庭主义使父母得不到公共支持。这些群体与发达的福利国家制度有着共同的核心特征。这种方法论有可能质疑后社会主义例外论的说法，并允许研究人员测试新的假说。
This article offers a methodology to reveal the latent constructs that underlie policies on parental leave and childcare services. It is constructed to uncover state assumptions about the social organization of childcare and gender roles in a country-comparative perspective. Legislation is central to this analysis, and combinations of policy components take centre stage. An index of state de-familialism is proposed and its analytical potential tested on eight post-socialist European Union (EU) states. Grounded in Leitner's conceptualization of "varieties of familialism", it gauges three policy types: (1) Slovenian and Lithuanian supported de-familialism incentivizes women's continuous employment and active fatherhood; (2) explicit familialism in Hungary, the Czech Republic and Estonia supports familial childcare and reinforces gendered parenting; and (3) implicit familialism in Poland, Slovakia and Latvia leaves parents without public support. These groups share core characteristics with developed welfare state regimes. This methodology has the potential to discredit claims of post-socialist exceptionalism and allows researchers to test new hypotheses.
