Gender and the European Labour Market Summary

Gender and the European Labour Market by Francesca Bettio (University of Siena, Italy)

The book presents state of the art research on women's current position in European labour markets. It combines analysis of the latest trends in employment, occupational segregation, working time, unpaid work, social provisions (especially care provisions) and the impact of the financial crisis, with overall assessment of the actual impact of the European Employment Strategy and the specific impact of key policies, such as taxation and flexicurity.

Gender and the European Labour Market Reviews

I can nonetheless recommend this book to policymakers and scholars who are interested in gender issues and who value practical advice and empirical knowledge. It is an easy and interesting read that provides a lot of detail and inspiration for further research and policies relevant for fostering gender equality. - Lena Hipp, WZB Social Science Center Berlin, British Journal of Industrial Relations
