The purpose of this chapter is to show how, for the future of Europe, more than ever, the issues of work are central to the renewal of feminism, even if this cause is sometimes relegated to the background in debates in society. As long as women do not have full economic autonomy, as long as gender inequalities at work and in life are not really curbed, the European project of a fair and egalitarian society will be in vain. Admittedly, the European foundation is solid and constitutes an inescapable point of support. But the reality—real equality in the workplace—is still a long way off. Each crisis, and in particular that linked to Covid-19, has revealed all the inequalities suffered by women, particularly in the workplace. The aim of this chapter is to look back at the current trends and challenges facing women in the workplace, and to sketch out the contours of a genuine feminist democratisation of work.

摘要

The purpose of this chapter is to show how, for the future of Europe, more than ever, the issues of work are central to the renewal of feminism, even if this cause is sometimes relegated to the background in debates in society. As long as women do not have full economic autonomy, as long as gender inequalities at work and in life are not really curbed, the European project of a fair and egalitarian society will be in vain. Admittedly, the European foundation is solid and constitutes an inescapable point of support. But the reality—real equality in the workplace—is still a long way off. Each crisis, and in particular that linked to Covid-19, has revealed all the inequalities suffered by women, particularly in the workplace. The aim of this chapter is to look back at the current trends and challenges facing women in the workplace, and to sketch out the contours of a genuine feminist democratisation of work.
