Description
Summary:An emerging body of research about the impact of the recession and austerity on women recognized but did not examine the potential different impact of the crisis and austerity reforms on different groups of women, particularly how it affected the labour supply, employment attachment, patterns and experience of low educated women. This paper focuses on the impact of the crisis and the associated austerity measures on the patterns and quality of employment of women, and how the crisis and changes to employment regulation and welfare provision affected the employment and living conditions of women, the family arrangements and gender relations in Southern European regions, using Andalucia as a case study. At the micro level, in order to understand the kind of pressures and challenges created by the crisis and the austerity reforms, interviews were conducted with 66 low educated women employed. Women joined the labour market as men lost jobs but faced increasing barriers to securing employment.
