Gender equality has been one of the defining projects of European
welfare states. It has proven an elusive goal, not just because of
political opposition but also due to a lack of clarity in how to
best frame equality and take account of family-related
considerations. This wide-ranging book assembles the most pertinent
literature and evidence to provide a critical understanding of how
contemporary state policies engage with gender inequalities.
Examining progress in gender equality in EU member states, this
thought-provoking book traces developments from the last decade and
earlier regarding women's and men's relative positioning in respect
of income, employment and time. Located in a critical feminist
perspective, the result is a compelling overview of the
gender-related achievements in the EU and continuing gaps and
inequalities. As well as taking stock of where we are now, the book
identifies a research agenda going forward. This seeks to
revitalise the feminist social policy project, in light of key
welfare state developments and intersectional inequalities in
Europe and beyond. This innovative and detailed book constitutes an
important contribution to debates about gender equality and
policies in Europe and provides a timely reminder of the content of
the gender critique of welfare states and why it is still salient.
