Hi! My name is Manuel Alvariño Vázquez. I am on my way to finish my PhD at the European University Institute and I will soon join the CBS in Copenhagen. I investigate the politics of welfare state from a comparative perspective with a focus on work-life balance and gender. In this website you will find access to all my publications.
