Summary The Social Origins of the Welfare State traces the evolution of the first universal laws for Qu?c families, passed during the Second World War. In this translation of her award-winning Aux origines sociales de l?tat-providence, Dominique Marshall examines the connections between political initiatives and Qu?cois families, in particular the way family allowances and compulsory schooling primarily benefited teenage boys who worked on family farms and girls who stayed home to help with domestic labour. She demonstrates that, while the promises of a minimum of welfare and education for all were by.
