Seçilmiş Avrupa Ülkelerinde Ekonomik Kriz ve Cinsiyetçi Yaklaşımın Gelişimi

Mevcut ekonomik kriz Avrupa işgücü piyasalarını derinden etkiledi. İstihdam tüm ülkelerde düştü. Kadın istihdamı, krizin durgunluk aşamasından erkek istihdamına göre daha az etkilendi. Teşvik paketlerinin uygulanmasıyla karakterize edilen ikinci aşama, erkek istihdamı için daha uygun olması gerekiyordu. Kemer sıkma planlarının uygulamaya konulduğu üçüncü aşama, kadın istihdamı için en zorlu ve sert aşamaydı. Krizin toplumsal cinsiyete dayalı bu etkileri temelde cinsiyete dayalı sektörel ayrışmayla açıklanabilir. Bu makalenin amacı, altı Avrupa ülkesindeki mevcut krizin farklı aşamalarında kadın ve erkekler için istihdamdaki eğilimi araştırmak ve analiz etmektir. Bazı ülkelerde, özellikle İspanya'da, krizin etkisi cinsiyetler arası farkın daralmasına yol aşması, cinsiyetin sektörel ayrımı ile açıklanmaktadır. Çoğunlukla, kadınlar sektörel ayrımcılık açısından daha az korunmaktadır, çünkü kriz sırasında farklı ekonomik sektörlerdeki dağılımları aynı kalsaydı, olması gerekenden daha fazla kadın işlerininden olacaktı.

THE ECONOMIC CRISIS AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF GENDER REGIMES IN SELECTED EUROPEAN COUNTRIES

The present crisis ravaging the economy has tremendously affected the European labourmarkets. And as a result of this situation, the employment level has dropped significantlyin virtually all countries in the world. After a series of studies, it was observed that thefemale employment level wasn't badly affected by different stages of the recession, unliketheir male counterpart. The second phase is one that is characterized by the executionof incentive packages that should have in several ways been more advantageous to maleemployment. The next phase, which is the third, includes stricter plans in the societythat was particularly harsh to the female employees. This paper's main objective is toelaborate and examine the latest employment trend for both men and women duringdiverse phases of the current crisis ravaging the six European countries of the world. Theinfluence of the crisis has narrowed down the gender gap in most European countries,especially Spain. And this alone is primarily explained by the different gender sectorialsegregation. When it comes to sectoral segregation, women are the ones who are theleast protected, and this is because they have lost more jobs than they should have if theyequally distributed across several sectors in the economy during the crisis.
