abstract: 'Twenty-five years after the fall of the communist regimes, the gender
|
|
|
|
gap in employment varies widely across Central and Eastern Europe. This
|
|
|
|
study examines the societal-level reasons for this variation and
|
|
|
|
assesses the impact of different dimensions of neoliberally minded
|
|
|
|
``economic development{''''} strategies on gender inequality. We focus on
|
|
|
|
Central and Eastern Europe, a segment of the world not typically
|
|
|
|
addressed in the literature on gender and development. We rely on the
|
|
|
|
2008 and 2012 waves of the European Union Statistics on Income and
|
|
|
|
Living Conditions survey as well as multiple macro-level data sources to
|
|
|
|
analyze the association between development indicators, labor market
|
|
|
|
context, social policy arrangements, and the gender employment gap. We
|
|
|
|
find that typical growth indicators, global market integration, and
|
|
|
|
social policy arrangements are not at all or only weakly associated with
|
|
|
|
the gender employment gap in this region. Instead, the labor market
|
|
|
|
context, specifically the degree of segregation and the size of the
|
|
|
|
public and service sectors, are more important for shaping women''s labor
|
|
|
|
market opportunities relative to men''s at both time points. Our findings
|
|
|
|
contribute to the literature on the trade-offs between job segregation
|
|
|
|
and aspects of gender inequality as well as to ongoing debates within
|
|
|
|
the field of ``gender and development{''''} by pointing out important
|
|
|
|
variations across regions.'
