- Description
- Although European policy initiatives to advance the position of women in Academia have proliferated, both at national and EU levels, serious inequities of many kinds remain. This situation is exposed and investigated in this book, which presents reports and discussions from a conference held at the Law Faculty of Lund University in December 2004. The participants law professors and social scientists present detailed reports on domestic experiences and regulations in eight European countries Among the many issues raised are the following: positive action in theory and practice: the progress of the EU Commission s strategy to integrate equal opportunity into all Community policies and activities: the motives for promoting women in Academia: the extensive group of part-timers and fixed-term employees at the margin of the traditional academic career: the importance of creating a situation in Academia where woman excellence shows: and the development of marketable research disciplines embodied in private research institutes.

- Description
- This book is a comparative study of family change, parental employment and social policy in the five Nordic countries, the Netherlands, Germany and the United Kingdom. In all these countries family forms have been profoundly affected by lower fertility rates, lower marriage rates, increased cohabitation, higher risks of relationship breakdown and episodes of lone parenthood. These changes have also been linked to an increase in the proportion of mothers participating in the labor market. .The contributors to this book trace these social trends over the last twenty years and analyze how social policy has developed and evolved in response. They argue that while the Nordic countries pioneered efforts to recognize new family forms and reconcile work and family life, there is still considerable variation between them as well as some evidence that the non-Nordic countries are catching up.

- Description
- Emancipatie prijkt hoog op de agenda van de meeste politieke partijen, die pleiten voor gratis kinderopvang en verbeteringen van verlofmaatregelen. De arbeidskracht van vrouwen is namelijk hard nodig in de ontgroenende en vergrijzende samenleving. .In deze Emancipatiemonitor zijn de meest actuele cijfers bijeengebracht over onderwerpen als: arbeidsparticipatie, economische zelfstandigheid, geweld tegen vrouwen, het aandeel vrouwen op hogere en besluitvormende functies en het aandeel van mannen in de onbetaalde arbeid. In drie verdiepende hoofdstukken wordt een aantal veronderstellingen over emancipatie nader onderzocht: de veronderstelling dat de voorzieningen om arbeid en zorg te combineren in Nederland minder goed zijn dan in andere westerse landen, en dat dit het grote aantal in deeltijd werkende vrouwen verklaart. Ten tweede dat het emancipatieproces in de stad sneller verloopt dan op het platteland. En de veronderstelling dat nieuwe generaties vrouwen en mannen geëmancipeerder zijn dan oudere generaties. In de epiloog ten slotte wordt ingegaan op de vraag waarom het emancipatieproces niet sneller verloopt.

- Description
- Based on research and collaboration across Europe this book provides cutting edge debate on issues in the practice and policy of trafficking in women. Practitioners, academics and policy-makers contribute their up-to-date and comprehensive analysis. The authors look at how globalization and gender discrimination fuel the increasing numbers of women trafficked in Europe. To what extent is trafficking a result of decreasing opportunities to migrate legally into the European Union? Would an economic analysis of trafficking support measures to combat the practice? Who are the traffickers and who are the victims? They look at legislative models that can be used to combat trafficking across Europe. How can victims of trafficking be better protected and the human rights approach can add something.

- This book offers new insights into social science debates by analyzing feminist theories of the state. It argues that we need feminist tools for analyzing states and focuses on two debates, domestic violence and childcare, as areas where feminists discursively construct the state. These themes are developed within a comparative perspective. Focusing on devolution in Scotland and the European Union, the book further explores how feminist state theories conceive multi-level governance.

- Description
- 'The Conference Men and Gender Equality – Towards Progressive Policies was held in Helsinki on 5–6 October 2006 gathered together experts in the theme of men and gender equality from different parts of the European .Union to highlight the important role of men in promoting gender equality. The starting point was that by paying more attention to the relationship between men and gender equality, they could increase men’s contribution to the promotion of gender equality as well as address some problems men in particular are facing. This, in turn, would promote gender equality and, most importantly, the status of women. During the Conference, the main focus was on policies, i.e. what has been done and what should be done concerning men and gender equality. The Conference concentrated on the themes of 1) reduction of segregation in education and training, 2) gender mainstreaming in health policies and practices, 3) violence, and 4) reconciliation of work and family life. This .report pulls together the presentations given at the Conference. Furthermore, it includes the reports of the discussion in the working groups.'
