Économie politique féministe d'intégration dans la CE

A feminist political economics of integration in the EC Ulla Koch notes that economic analyses, even when they consider social groups, generally ignore the gender element in groups. What is needed is not to take exceptional measures in favour of women a posteriori as if they were a marginal group; the gender parameter must be integrated in analyses to prevent an economic unbalance between the sexes. This parameter should be taken into account both as. concerns resources (an aspect that is often neglected) and as concerns the breakdown of the workload - here, the very definition of work needs review. The author indicates that the creation of the single European market makes a provisional analysis of its consequences on women indispensable, to prevent potential economic unbalance between the men and women rather than attempting to compensate it when it is too late.Koch Ulla, Bolain Nancy.
