This essay draws on several analyses on the gender impact of the recession and of austerity policies, in which authors acknowledge a threat to women’s labour market integration and a potential backlash to traditional gender labour structures. We contribute to that literature by asking whether recession and austerity convey a gender effect on educational attainment. Our aim in this essay is to portray the likely effects of austerity measures on gender equality with a focus on women’s participation in tertiary education and to hypothesize the implications of these scenarios for labour market effects, to be tested in future empirical research.
Kleine Hebel und auf den Markt vertrauende Lösungen reichen nicht mehr aus, um den Klimawandel zu stoppen. Wir brauchen ein Steuersystem, das breit diskutierte und klar kommunizierte Ziele konsequent ansteuert.
