- Description
- The author argues that the limited scope of application of the Directive (the first European Community instrument to implement the principle of gender equality outside the workplace),together with doubts surrounding its legal base and position within the overall gender equality framework of the Union, have undermined its potential. Nevertheless, it is suggested that for the future, should these criticisms be adequately addressed, then the Directive may provide an important platform for the wider diffusion of the gender equality principle beyond the sphere of European employment law.
