patriarchal welfare system

Explanation:
During the Franco period, Spain had established a despotic-corporatist welfare regime. The Franco government had repealed family policy reforms undertaken by the popular front government in the 1930s. This was done in an attempt to strengthen the traditional family. Support of patriarchy led to financial aid for married couples, benefits for wives who did not work outside the home, maternity benefits, child benefits, and birth awards to reward large families. The focus on child benefits and family salary reinforced the idea that married women were subordinate to men and the woman's place was in the home. In addition to these benefits, there was also family tax relief. In 1973, the recession led to cutbacks in family benefits. The Franoist regime, however, was strongly patriarchal, and in favor of family values. As a result of these beliefs, maternity and single parent benefits are, even today, among the lowest in the European Union.
