abstract: 'The transformation from a centrally planned economy to a market economy
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
involves a wide-ranging redistribution of paid employment, income, and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
individual opportunities. Men and women in the former East Germany
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
(GDR)-who before reunification had equal roles of participation in paid
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
labour-have been affected in different ways by the restructuring of the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
East German economy. Women are now more often unemployed, and for longer
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
periods, and face greater difficulties in finding a job. In order to
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
explain these differences between men and women, the authors investigate
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
the economic, social, and political dimensions of the transformation
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
process. The main argument is that economic and social disadvantages
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
affecting East German women are not just related to the economic and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
political transformation as such. Rather, they are rooted in a
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
traditional gender division of paid work in the former GDR which was
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
reinforced by the paternalistic family and social policy developed by
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
the East German state. At the same time, however, East German women''s
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
experiences of being fully integrated into employment, and enjoying
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
greater economic independence, make it unlikely that they will easily
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
accept the West German model of partial labour-market integration.'
