The authors undertake an in-depth examination of three European countries with differing welfare state configurations and different prevailing gender regimes: Denmark (universal bread-winner model), Germany and the United Kingdom (dual earner/female part-time carer).

In this regard transitional arrangements can contribute to mitigate the risks associated with parenthood and to distribute risks more equally. This paper looks at these issues in light of the transitional labour market (TLM) concept. The first section discusses various gender-equality models which imply different ways of organising, for example, childcare, parental leave and flexible working time. Sections two and three look at gender inequalities in labour market outcomes and discuss transitional arrangements that can contribute to the achievement of more gender equality in six countries taken as examples. The last section discusses the results of the labour market and institutional analysis in light of the TLM concept.

Abstract This paper seeks to clarify how the Transitional Labour Market concept can contribute to building an institutional framework able to progressively transform the current 'parity caregiver' and 'universal breadwinner' models into a 'universal caregiver' model. To this end, the paper will analyse the social policies and institutions that have been put in place in a number of European Union member states, examining also their impact on gender equality.
