  2. The precarity of women was long hidden from view. But the economic and social changes, now make it essential to consider this issue. Precarity has two faces: instability, career breaks, the fragility and difficulty of labour market integration and reintegration , are essential for defining precarity in a conventional sense. But it is also crucial to consider stability in underemployment, particularly part-time work, which is much more frequent for women than for men.

  3. 1.The characteristics of jobs held by women 1.1. Unstable jobs… 1.2. … and stable underemployment 2. The effects of the economic crisis 2.1. Unemployment rates: women and men 2.2. Strengthening of precarious employment 2.3. Lasting effects of the crisis 3. Income inequality 3.1. Wage inequality 3.2. Pensions 4. Changing family structures 5.

  4. Inequalities between the sexes are not like other inequalities: they are linked to a number of factors, which fall within the private and occupational spheres, current institutional arrangements, social welfare systems, representations and stereotypes. This analysis has important consequences for public policies intended to combat inequality and ensure greater social justice.
