GENDER AND FAMILY IN EUROPEAN ECONOMIC POLICY G...

This collection explores how pioneering gender equality policies have shaped women's economic
presence in Europe since 2000. Equal pay policies  parental leave reforms  corporate quotas and
electoral quotas have raised pressing questions about the effectiveness in promoting equal
participation  as researchers quote both quantitative improvement in gender diversity and
qualitative lag in cultural change. The chapters in this book present interlocking
cross-national and cross-policy comparisons of the three most controversial reforms: equal pay
parental leave  and quotas for political representatives. The contributors address the cultural
context in which reforms arose  internally contradictory policies  and the relative
effectiveness of fast-track quotas and incentives compared to long-term efforts to change the
overall culture of gender. This critical examination of the new millennium's groundbreaking
gender policies will appeal to academics and practitioners interested in the progress of gender
equality in the economic  political  and social welfare fields.
