Inhalt: "This article first describes the European Union’s idea of gender equality and its im-plementation into European policies. The second section analyses the extent to which citizens of different European countries support the idea of gender equality. The em-pirical basis for our analysis is the “Eurobarometer 63.1” from 2005. The descriptive findings show that while a majority of European citizens support the idea of gender equality, there are substantial differences between individual countries. In the third section we explain these differences by referring to the country’s level of moderniza-tion and degree of politically institutionalised gender equality, as well as the respon-dents’ religious orientation and level of education, among other factors."

Inhalt: Similar to most industrialized countries, female labor supply in Austria has been increasing for the last decades, while labor force participation for men has been constant or even somewhat declining. This working paper - in cooperation with the University of Linz - provides an insight into wage elasticities concerning work participation and weekly hours for Austrian men and women between 1987 and 1999. It presents the almost continuous reduction in the labor supply reactions of married women. While their elasticity was still several times larger at the beginning of the 1980s, they approached rapidly the much less elastic behavior of men. These developments are important for the analysis of deadweight losses of taxation as well as the effects of tax reforms and wage subsidy programs. In this paper we differentiate between married and never-married women; which is very important in explaining labour force participation. As these differences are negligible for men we refrain from this distinction. Labor supply elasticities give an impression about attachment to the labor force; very high elasticities of (married) women have often been interpreted as evidence for low labor force attachment and a traditional family role model: the male bread-winner model where female market participation was considered as supplementary and more volatile. Due to increasing educational attainment of women, developments on the marriage market - lower marriage and higher divorce rates - and most importantly changing social roles and norms, it can be expected that this traditional male-breadwinner model will have considerably lost its importance.

Inhalt: "In Deutschland wurde Gleichstellungspolitik von Beginn an über Steuerungsformen
betrieben, die heute Gegenstand der Governanceforschung sind. Die feministische
Politikwissenschaft kann darum dieser neuen Forschungsperspektive wichtige Antworten
zu ihren Kernfragen anbieten. Im Rückgriff auf zentrale Ergebnisse feministischer
Forschung machen die Autorinnen die Grenzen der Steuerbarkeit in den Bereichen
Recht, Ökonomie und Sozialpolitik deutlich. Konkret wird die Vielfalt der Governanceformen und -modi an der Politik zu Entgeltgleichheit, zu Gleichheit in der Sorgearbeit
und in der Verwaltungspolitik herausgearbeitet. Im Fazit werden die Synergieeffekte
und die gemeinsamen Anliegen der feministischen Politikwissenschaft und
der Governanceforschung aufgezeigt." (Autorenreferat)
Inhalt: "In Germany equal opportunity policy has been conducted from the beginning by
forms of regulation, which are currently the subject of governance research. Feminist
political science can thus offer important answers to the core questions of this new
research perspective. By drawing on the main results of feminist research, the authors
first clarify the boundaries of governance in the areas law, the economy, and
social policy. Specifically, the diversity of forms and modes of governance will be illustrated
for policies concerning wage equality, equality in childcare, and in administrative
policy. In the conclusion the authors address the synergetic effects and the
common concerns of feminist political science and governance research." (author's abstract)
