Women at Work : An Economic Perspective
The need for this volume has become self evident. At the Spring 2000 Lisbon meeting of the European Council the Heads of Governments of the EU agreed to accelerate the greater participation of women in the labor market. However, neither in Lisbon nor in the subsequent Spring European Councils of the EU was it discussed how to achieve this target--and the trade-offs that would be involved in increasing the participation of women in paid employment.
Policies for increasing participation must involve some losers, or they would already have been implemented everywhere. If distributional considerations and policy trade-offs are ignored, it is only possible to set virtual targets, neglecting the reforms needed to achieve them. This book sets out a better informed policy debate about these issues, paving the way to more realistic targets and ways to achieve them.
