Quality of women’s work and employment: Tools for change (Foundation paper No. 3 Dec 2002)

Foundation papers aim to highlight knowledge and analysis emanating from the Foundation’s research themes: employment, equal opportunities, social inclusion, time use and diversity. The objective of the papers is to make past, present and future work of the Foundation relevant and accessible in a synthesised format. The subject of each paper will be linked to current social policy issues and offers therefore a timely contribution to the debate at European level. The third Foundation paper focuses on improving the quality of women’s work and employment. It highlights both positive and negative change over the past decade as well as persistent challenges faced by women in their working life. It also points to some tools and strategies identified by the Foundation’s work which could enhance the quality of women’s work and employment.
