As with sequential policies, these measures often revolve around mothers and female workers but—as detailed below—have increasingly begun to make men and fathers eligible as well in Latin America (ilo/undp, 2009). These are “regulatory policies on home-based care services”. The one-to-one hiring of mostly female personnel for work in familial settings is an alternative to provision in institutional settings, and has different implications for the State’s role in measures that defamilialize or commercialize care, since paid domestic work is not usually included in policies for reconciling paid work and family responsibilities. Paternity leaves came later and were created to encourage men to use parental leave.
