Abstract

Studies have shown positive impact of family policies on women’s labour market participation over the last decades. How, then, does it influence the types of jobs women obtain when they (re-)enter the labour market? Using multi-level modelling, this study examines how different work–family balance policies (that is, leave policies, childcare services) shape gendered labour market patterns and whether or not it mitigates women’s overrepresentation among the labour market Outsiders across Europe. I use European Working Conditions Survey 2015 data and cover 30 European countries. Specifically focusing on women’s relative likelihood of being labour market Outsiders compared to men, I find that certain policies help women avoid being Outsiders, while the others may reinforce the existing gender inequality in the labour market. This resonates with the welfare state paradox and family policy trade-off literature that the policies that do not disrupt the gender norms may in turn maintain or enhance them.
整个欧洲的性别劳动力市场模式:家庭政策是否减轻了外来者的女性化?
研究表明,过去几十年来,家庭政策对妇女参与劳动力市场产生了积极影响。那么,当女性(重新)进入劳动力市场时,它如何影响她们获得的工作类型呢?本研究使用多层次模型,考察了不同的工作-家庭平衡政策(即休假政策、托儿服务)如何塑造性别化的劳动力市场模式,以及它是否减轻了欧洲劳动力市场局外人中女性的过度代表性。我使用2015年欧洲工作条件调查数据,覆盖30个欧洲国家。特别关注女性与男性相比成为劳动力市场局外人的相对可能性,我发现某些政策帮助女性避免成为局外人,而其他政策可能会加剧劳动力市场中现有的性别不平等。这与福利国家悖论和家庭政策权衡文献相呼应,即不破坏性别规范的政策可能反过来维持或加强性别规范。

期刊介绍: The Journal of European Social Policy publishes articles on all aspects of social policy in Europe. Papers should make a contribution to understanding and knowledge in the field, and we particularly welcome scholarly papers which integrate innovative theoretical insights and rigorous empirical analysis, as well as those which use or develop new methodological approaches. The Journal is interdisciplinary in scope and both social policy and Europe are conceptualized broadly. Articles may address multi-level policy making in the European Union and elsewhere; provide cross-national comparative studies; and include comparisons with areas outside Europe.
