The Impact Of The Crisis On Women In West Europe
The current financial crisis has raised considerable concerns within West Europe. Though it is still too early to measure the actual impact, there is deep concern about the worsening of gender gaps and social inequalities across the board and in particular for those already on social and economic margins such as the young, the elderly and migrant women.
What is certain is that the impact of the financial market’s collapse on women’s situations - whether as workers or carers - is receiving far less attention than the loss of men’s jobs.
