One thought on “Stefanie Wöhl: “Economic Governance in the European Union: Effects on Gender Relations, Employment and Social Reproduction””

  1. See in addition to the highly interesting paper by Stefanie Wöhl www.gem-europe.eu/attachments/article/1035/Maria%20Karamessini.pdf ; ec.europa.eu/justice/gender-equality/files/documents/eurobarometer_report_2015_en.pdf
    For the workshop discussion 2-3 more questions are of interest:
    1. What can we conclude about the dynamic of gender inequalities in connection with the dynamic of social inequalities in and among EU member states since 2007? Can we see a more rising inequality among women in and among EU member states? What does the findings mean?
    2. Are the conclusions by Maria Karamessini from 2012 (see the two last slids of the first link) still valid? Can we do an update?
    3. Do the recent results of the EU consultation on gender realtions ec.europa.eu/justice/newsroom/gender-equality/files/public-consultation-gender-web_en.pdf help to answer on the already asked questions?
