| Description | One of the most important goals of the Lisbon Agenda was to raise the employment rate of women in all member states of the European Union to 60 per cent by 2010. This should contribute to the sustainability of the European social model. Some progress was made in the last few years, but in most of the countries, the goal was not achieved. With the work in the project “Impact of local welfare systems on female labour force participation and social cohesion” (FLOWS) we want to find out the reasons for the differences in the goal attainment between various urban regions in several European countries. An important and underresearched area is the role of local welfare systems. However, we are not only interested in the causes of the female labour market behaviour, but also in its impact on inequality and social cohesion. The major aim of the Work Package 3 is to get an insight into the structures of local welfare systems in relation to childcare, care for senior citizens, and lifelong learning, and their impact on women’s labour market integration. The findings provide evidence about how, in which ways and under which conditions the local welfare system has an impact on women’s labour market integration. |
