This means that we apply a conceptual trichotomy (Ellingsaeter, 2007) consisting not only of socio-economic equality, w hich emphasises redistribution of income, career opportunities, care obligations, etc., b ut also of socio-cultural recognition of diverse collective identities and the individual freedom of choice between different forms of life.

The main results show that for the most part, these policies offer affirmative recognition of maternal care and limited employment of mothers but offer little support for transformative recognition, particularly in terms of increasing the social status of working mothers and fathers as carers.

Austrian workfamily policies also do little to redistribute incomes and career opportunities from men to women and childcare from women to men; instead, they grant only limited freedom to choose between parental duties and employment, and the (financial) support they do offer is strongly concentrated on early childhood.

All in all, the construction of the parental leave system (together with the Childcare Benefit), the entitlement to work part time, shortfalls in public childcare structures, and the lack of awareness of gendered (cultural and material) structures on the labour market and within families do not actively encourage gender equality.

Some aspects of these policies even stabilise and deepen gendered structures on the labour market and in families.

T ogether with Germany, A ustria represents the conservative continental welfare state model that emphases the importance of family as a ma tter of public policy.

Therefore, and despite the usually consensual climate within Austrian politics, family policy is also a source of political conflict.

The key work family policies are the parental leave scheme (which has existed in dif ferent forms since 1957) in connection with the Childcare Benefit payment (introduced in 2002), the entitlement for one parent to work part time (established in 2004), and the moderate and regionall y rather diverse expansion of the childcare infrastructure.

Howe ver, the impacts of these policies are highly contested.

Empirical (often comparative) studies of the A ustrian work famil y and childcare strategy usually focus explicitly or implicitly on gender equality issues (e.g., Auer, 2002; Haas, 2005; Leitner, 2003; Leitner Wrob lewski, 2006).

The purpose of this paper is once more to concentrate on the social category gender but to go bey ond the equality dimension.

Thus, we evaluate the main public w ork family policies in Austria from a broader perspective of social justice.
