Books by Colette Fagan

Based on the work of the European Commission's network of experts on women's employment, this is the first comprehensive study of the contribution of women and men to changing European economic activity patterns covering all 15 member states.

This book examines the international trends and associated developments in gender equality policy including corporate governance such as gender quotas. International comparative analysis is combined with detailed analysis of eight European countries with different policy regimes and trajectories.

Based on extensive original research, this volume examines contemporary patterns of women's employment in Europe in the context of the profound economic, social and cultural changes that have taken place in recent years.
