This up-to-date study of the contribution of women and men to
changing European economic activity patterns, covers 15 members
states. Based on the work of the European Commission's network of
experts on women's employment, it draws on both national and
European data sources. The book links trends in the structures of
employment with new comparative data on the role of systems of
welfare provision in order to explore economic activity patterns by
gender. Participation patterns of women still vary widely within
Europe, so much attention is paid to the institutions - both in the
labour market and welfare - which help to explain these variations.
The apparently contradictory tendency for women's employment and
unemployment to rise is analyzed, taking into account changes in
industrial/occupational structure and trends at the European,
national and regional level. Many countries continue to pursue
inconsistent and discriminatory labour market policies; many still
base welfare policies on the nation of a single male breadwinner
family. This text considers how such policies affect women as
workers.
