| Popis | One of the most important goals of the Lisbon Agenda was to raise the employment rate of women in all the member states of the European Union to 60 percent by 2010. This should contribute to the sustainability of the European social model. Some progress was made in the last few years, but in most of the countries, the goal was not achieved. With the work in the project “Impact of local welfare systems on female labour force participation and social cohesion (FLOWS)” we want to find out the reasons for the differences in the goal attainment between various urban regions in several European countries. An important and underresearched area is the role of local welfare systems, but also the influence of economic factors, labour market characteristics ad culture. However, we are not only interested in the causes of the female labour market behaviour, but also in its impact on inequality and social cohesion. The general aim of WP2 is to understand how the “local production system” and labour demand frame the employment opportunities of women in the 11 urban contexts analyzed in our research. More specifically, the research report identifies certain patterns of urban economy, highlighting both the effects of the local production systems on the female integration into the labour market and, conversely, the impact of the female participation on the competitiveness of the local economy.The analysis focuses on three main aspects: the urban economic pattern of development and structure of the labour market; horizontal and vertical sex segregation; forms of local coordination of the labour market. |
