Illuminating the process: equal opportunities and collective bargaining in the European Union (Phase IV)

This fourth and final report on this subject provides an in-depth analysis of the collective bargaining process in each of the Member States, aiming at the identification of important factors which may lead to good agreements. Special attention has been paid to internal characteristics of the social partner organisations, such as the representation of women, as a possible factor influencing the achievement of a 'good' agreement. This report is based on 15 case studies from the member States. It covers a wide variety of bargaining levels and sectors with varying levels of female participation in the labour force.
