Marshall's sequence runs civil rights, then political rights, then social rights. Esping-Andersen's key measure is decommodification, the extent to which a livelihood can be maintained without depending on the market. Ferrera proposed a fourth, Southern European regime type. Feminist critics proposed defamilialisation as the missing axis.
The last two blanks are the two accepted amendments to the typology. Defamilialisation is the sharper of them: a regime can score well on decommodification precisely because it assumes women provide unpaid care, which the original measure cannot see at all.
