Równość płci w przebiegu życia. Wskazania dla polityki społecznej
Journal Title: Przegląd Socjologiczny - Year 2016, Vol 0, Issue 2
Abstract
Since the 1980s one can observe a process of integrating gender equality policies into the mainstream of social policies, which is evident in the documents and strategies of the United Nations and European Union. Gender equality is also becoming an important perspective when it comes to Polish social policy. This approach is reflected in the legal acts and policies aimed at combating discrimination and ensuring the equal treatment of men and women. This article analyses the implementation of gender equality policies in the areas of education, family life, the labour market and the pension system. It is based on data stemming from a qualitative study (policy analysis and ten focus group interviews with various groups) concerning experiences linked to gender in/ equality in different phases of life. By referring to the life course perspective, we attempt to assess whether and how existing social policies meet the needs of women and men considered from the gender equality perspective.
