“…His narratives indicate that he cared about and for his children and wanted to spend time with them, and that because of his working-class status, part of looking after his children required earning money. Scholars have repeatedly clarified that the "sacrifice" of men engaging in paid work is offset by the benefits of increased agency and other components of power, including the prospect of domination of family relationships (Broomhill & Sharp, 2007). Yet, what we observe with Neal is a genuine understanding that providing an income was much less about domination and more about necessary contribution.…”

Research considering men, boys, and the concept of caring masculinities has proliferated in the last five years, although attention has predominantly been given to privileged men's practices of care in the private realm. In this article, we explore caring masculinities among working‐class men in the United Kingdom employed in blue‐collar work, highlighting the possibilities for transformation and change stemming from men in the margins. Drawing on narrative biographical interviews, we analyze in‐depth case studies from two men. Their biographies illustrate practices and an ethos of care interwoven throughout both paid‐work and other aspects of their lives, drawing attention to how caring dispositions are formed through histories of care throughout the lifecourse for working‐class men. We also consider how care can circulate in workplaces that have been considered “low on care”, and how these men draw on working‐class values of care and solidarity to challenge logics of capital at work.

“…9 Women appear more likely than men to move into accounting-related administrative and clerical positions; men more likely to move to less-skilled, non-accounting occupations. This is not surprising given the gender-based segmentation characteristic of the Australian labour market (Broomhill & Sharp, 2005). The proportion of migrant accountants working as managers and professionals seems to be principally a function of advanced-economy region of origin and employer sponsorship (i.e.…”

Although recent circumstances have rekindled interest in matching skilled migrant intakes to domestic labour needs, the factors contributing to migrant employment outcomes remain poorly understood. Contemporary research tends to focus on the best and worst of skilled migrant outcomes – either integration into elite transnational labour markets or relegation to relatively menial work. By approaching the issue from a perspective attuned to differentiated labour markets and their multiple segmentations, this paper argues that skilled migrant outcomes are best examined at the scale of occupations, with analysis oriented to understanding mobility across groups of related occupations. Using the example of the ‘in demand’ occupation of accountants migrating to Australia in the years 2005 to 2010, the paper's analysis of data from the Continuous Survey of Australia's Migrants reveals that migrant accountants trickled across and trickled down to a wide range of accounting‐related occupations. Individual migrant's positions were conditioned by the intertwined effects of region of origin, gender, and migration pathway. The paper concludes with a discussion of policy implications.

“…During the lead up to the establishment of the commission, women were written into the welfare state when "the dominant view of work and family life dictated a strict division of labour between the sexes" (Bakker and Scott 1997, 289). After all, the male breadwinner/female housewife-caregiver model was embedded in all post-War capitalist welfare states (Broomhill and Sharp 2005) and was central to welfare state development. Consequently, women were recognized as mothers, wives and dependentsas so-called reproducerswhile men were attached to the welfare state as independent breadwinners/fathers and household headsthat is, economically valued producers.…”
