abstract: 'The purpose of this special issue is to analyze the unintended gendered
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
consequences of European Union policies that may appear to be gender
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
neutral. This article explores pensions policy, an issue that entered
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
onto the political agenda in recent decades due to demographic trends
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
and concerns regarding the financial sustainability of public pensions.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Consequently, the EU and its member states have implemented a number of
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
pension reforms that seek to decrease state responsibility and increase
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
individual responsibility. The implications of these seemingly
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
gender-neutral reforms are negative for the majority of women, as they
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
favor male work patterns and disadvantage female work patterns,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
including part-time and temporary work, as well as time taken out of the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
labor market for caring and other domestic responsibilities. As a
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
result, I argue that the current wave of pension reforms in the EU have
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
gendered consequences that are particularly negative for the majority of
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
women. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.'
