- Description
- 'Part I of the paper examines the interface and trade-offs between paid and unpaid work, including unpaid care work, while Part II identifies data gaps and proposes further research and analysis. Specifically, the paper focuses on women’s and men’s division of labour between paid work and unpaid care work and its effects on gender equality with respect to decent work outcomes, and one’s ability and power to make and act on choices: its interconnection with individual and family poverty: and on how economic and social policies and institutions influence women’s options by reducing or increasing the burden of unpaid care work. Unpaid care work shapes the ability, duration and types of paid work that can be undertaken. As it does not offer monetary remuneration, it reduces the exercise of “voice” over decision-making and impacts on one’s ability to accumulate savings and assets. Being regarded a woman’s “natural” work - performed in the “private” sphere of the family - unpaid care work hides away its economic dimensions and contributions: and being undervalued, it assigns paid social reproduction (care) workers to jobs that are presumed to be unskilled, with low pay, slender options for promotion and scant social protection. .Most importantly, unpaid care work entails a systemic transfer of hidden subsidies to the rest of the economy that go unrecognized, imposing a systematic time-tax on women throughout their life cycle. These hidden subsidies signal the existence of power relations between men and women. But also, they connect the “private” worlds of households and families with the “public” spheres of markets and the state in exploitative ways. It is important to shed light on these interconnections and draw attention to a pervasive form of inequality, in ways that motivate public dialogue and action on behalf of policy makers, in the hope that change is possible.'

- Description
- 'To explore how an informal job in formal employment can be define and who has an informal job and what the labour market outcomes are, are the research objectives, this paper uses data of comparable face-to-face surveys in nine countries: Benin, Ghana, Guinea, Kenya, Madagascar, Niger, Rwanda, Senegal, and Togo. An index for job-based informality is developed, based on contribution and entitlement to social security and employment status. In all countries, the young and low-educated workers are more likely to hold informal jobs: even more so are workers in micro-enterprises and private industry, and to a lesser extent those in unskilled occupations. Women and men are equally likely to hold informal jobs in formal employment. The more informal, the poorer the labour market outcomes: wages are lower: the chances of being paid below the minimum wage, working more than 48 hours, and not being covered by a collective agreement are higher.'

- Description
- 'In the first place, this paper provides a comparative legal analysis of the concept of equality. In the second place, attention is paid to the notion of positive action in EU law and, in particular, in the case law of the Court of Justice of the EU. This paper includes an analysis of the interpretative value of that case law to provide guidance for the adoption of positive action measures and the possible clashes with the international and national contexts. Finally, attention is paid to the recent actions adopted by the European Commission to promote gender balance in decision-making positions.'

- Description
- 'An examination of gender differences in perceived quality of employment (achievement, content, job insecurity, job flexibility, and physical and emotional conditions). The big question is whether women’s occupations provide better conditions in areas that facilitate their dual role in society, such as flexible working schedule, as a tradeoff for low monetary rewards. Specifically, how closely women’s concentration in broader occupational categories, embedded in particular national contexts, is associated with gender differences in job quality.'
