The full impact of austerity policies across Europe is still being
assessed, but it is clear that their gendered impacts have been
consistently severe, structural and manifold. They have also been,
until now, under-researched and under-estimated. This book brings
together the research of leading feminist economists in the area of
gender and austerity economics to perform a rigorous gender-impact
analysis both at national and pan-European levels. The chapters not
only offer thorough evidence for the detrimental gender-impact of
austerity policies across Europe, but they also provide readers
with concrete suggestions of alternative policies that national
governments and the European Union should adopt. With a combination
of country case studies and cross-country empirical analysis, this
book reveals the scope and channels through which women and men
have been impacted by austerity policies in Europe, and goes on to
offer readers the opportunity to assess the feasibility and
implications of a feminist alternative to continued austerity. This
book will be invaluable to social science students and researchers,
as well to as policy-makers searching not just for a Plan B to
continued austerity policies but for a Plan F - a feminist economic
strategy to stimulate sustainable economic recovery.
