abstract: 'This article revisits a central tenet of the welfare state paradox, also
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
known as the inclusion-equality trade-off. Using large-scale survey data
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
for 31 European countries and the United States, collected over a recent
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
15-year period, the article re-investigates the relationship between
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
female labour force participation and gender segregation. Emphasising
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
the transitional role played by the monetisation of domestic tasks, the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
study identifies a `gender equality hurdle'' that countries with the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
highest levels of female labour force participation have already passed.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The results show that occupational gender segregation is currently lower
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
in countries with high female labour force participation, regardless of
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
public sector size. However, the findings also indicate that high
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
relative levels of public spending on health, education and care are
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
particularly conducive to desegregation. Hence, rather than being
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
paradoxical, more equality in participation begets more equality in the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
labour market, as well as in gendered tasks in society overall.'
