abstract: 'The European Community has developed various social policies to

  compensate for the uneven effects of economic integration, and to bring

  about greater equality between women and men. In addition, the member

  states have their own policy traditions and institutional frameworks

  which likewise affect general employment conditions. In order to bring

  about greater economic and social cohesion in the European Community

  there have been moves to harmonise social policy. Clearly, if greater

  equality between women and men is a desired goal then it is important

  that the harmonisation should take place around those policies that are

  more progressive in this respect.

  Two ways of measuring gender inequality in paid work are proposed and

  applied to EC data. The results of this preliminary study indicate that

  those countries with more formal regulatory frameworks are more

  conducive to greater gender equality than those where market-based

  policies prevail.'
