Abstract: Spain shares with Greece, Italy and Portugal similarities in historical background, value systems, and institutional characteristics. The four Southern European countries constitute a distinct welfare regime alongside the wellresearched Anglo-Saxon, Continental and Nordic (Sarasa and Moreno 1995; Ferrera 1996; Rhodes 1996). The role played by the family in the Mediterranean regime constitutes one of its more characteristic traits. In households, women have in the past decades deployed a remarkable hyperactivity, which has been crucial for both social cohesion and economic growth.1
