Beskrivning
Despite formal UN and European Commission commitments to improve gender imbalances, progress towards gender equality in wealth and pay has progressed at a discouragingly slow pace in recent decades. European countries have been more proactive in their support for corrective policies, such as family leave and gender quotas for corporate boards, yet measuring the effectiveness of these policies has proven difficult. This book offers a close comparative analysis of gender-targeted policies in Europe, providing an in-depth overview of how public policy is shaping gender equality, and how the presence of women in the economy and decision-making positions is itself shaping public policy. Paola Profeta bases her analysis on new data and an innovative interdisciplinary perspective for understanding the relationship between gender, equality and public policy, and their final impact on the European economy and society, with lessons that resonate beyond Europe.

Recensioner i media

'This ambitious project draws upon insights including from economics, public management, political science and gender theory to interrogate critical questions about gender equality in politics and the workplace. What is the impact of public policy in terms of promoting gender equality? What difference for public policy does it make if there are women leaders in politics and business? Paying particular attention to gender equality in Southern Europe, Paola Profeta argues that a greater understanding is needed of the relationship between public economics (policies) and political economy (policymakers and shapers) in order to analyse the slow and uneven progress of gender equality to date – and the ever present dangers of stalling and regression. This book will be of great interest to both feminist scholars and mainstream scholars concerned with the relationship between public policy and gender equality.' Fiona Mackay, University of Edinburgh
