The “Labour and Family Economy” working group was established in 2016 as part of the European Labour History Network (https://socialhistoryportal.org/elhn/wg-family). It followed the organization by Cristina Borderias and Manuela Martini of the session “Gender, Labour and Modern History: What’s New in Europe?” at the first European Labour History Network conference in Turin (December 14-16, 2015). Some of the presentations were published in the journal Genesis XV/2, 2016 in the special issue: “Per una nuova storia del lavoro. Genere, economie, soggetti” https://www.viella.it/rivista/9788867287949.
