PINHEIRO, Luana; GALIZA, Marcelo  y  FONTOURA, Natália. Novos arranjos familiares, velhas convenções sociais de gênero: a licença-parental como política pública para lidar com essas tensões. Rev. Estud. Fem. [online]. 2009, vol.17, n.03, pp.851-859. ISSN 1806-9584.

The aim of this paper is to address the gap between the actual changes in the family structure and how the State deals with these matters through public policies which only take into account a strict and conventional model of family (nuclear families, consisting of couples with children), which reaffirms traditional gender conventions. As an example of this gap, we will present the case of work leave for the care of dependents, taking into account the information produced in the research Portrait of Inequalities, that highlights the establishment of new types of family structure.

Palabras clave : Gender; Women; Public Policies; Parental Leave; Maternity Leave.
