Gender Et Emploi Du Temps

Gender Et Emploi Du Temps
By:"Olwen Hufton"
Published on 1999 by Kluwer Law International

This volume presents the findings of a year-long forum held at the European University Institute in 1994--which focused on the complex issues arising from the differences in time use between the sexes at the end of the twentieth century. It addresses critical questions such as: How far does gender play a vital role in determining how much time is spent in paid work in the market and how much in unpaid caring work in the home? As a consequence, who has rights to pensions and benefits? How much time can either sex devote to leisure or to political activities? Among the contributors to this study are distinguished demographers, sociologists and social policy experts, philosophers and jurists, each employing different approaches and drawing upon a wide variety of evidence. These include time budget analyses, employment and population data, interviews to discern the differing attitudes of fathers and mothers to time spent with their children, assessments of the premises on which welfare systems have been constructed, and analyses of the language and assumptions used in the directives of the European Commission. In addition, experiments involving parental leave and ideas and initiatives to redistribute working time, such as Citizens Income, are considered in order to further the debate on how social change may be achieved.
