Les enjeux pour l'emploi féminin de la Stratégie européenne pour l'emploi
The development of female employment is a major concern of European Union countries and is one specific target of the European Employment Strategy: 60% of the female working age population should be employed in 2010. However, the capacity to meet this objective differs across countries, especially because their Welfare State heritage differs widely (conservative, liberal or social democratic regimes illustrate these differences). Furthermore, the EES remain silent on several issues related to the development of female employment: the quality of jobs and childcare services created, the organization of the workplace to ensure both flexibility and security, the way to both support families and guarantee payment from work. In all these areas, different options can be chosen, with different quantitative and qualitative social outcomes. In such context, the objectives agreed by European Union members should be extended.
