Gender mainstreaming in the public employment service
During the 90s Slovenia was experiencing a period of changes that influenced both its economy and social security system, and caused changes in the position of men and women. However, it could be assessed that those changes in general did not worsen the employment and social security position (social and economic inclusion) of women significantly more compared to men. The equal access to fulltime employment for women in Slovenia (compared to most ‘Western’ countries) can be seen as a legacy of the former system, which supported the inclusion of women in the public sphere, welldeveloped social child-care provisions and liberal family planning policies. Female employment has traditionally represented a high proportion of total employment and that has not been changed even in critical period of transition. Yet, intensification of working conditions in paid work and insecurity at the labour market (experienced by both women and men) have proven harder for women, particularly because of the burden of unpaid work.

Abstract

During the 90s Slovenia was experiencing a period of changes that influenced both its economy and social security system, and caused changes in the position of men and women. However, it could be assessed that those changes in general did not worsen the employment and social security position (social and economic inclusion) of women significantly more compared to men. The equal access to fulltime employment for women in Slovenia (compared to most ‘Western’ countries) can be seen as a legacy of the former system, which supported the inclusion of women in the public sphere, welldeveloped social child-care provisions and liberal family planning policies. Female employment has traditionally represented a high proportion of total employment and that has not been changed even in critical period of transition. Yet, intensification of working conditions in paid work and insecurity at the labour market (experienced by both women and men) have proven harder for women, particularly because of the burden of unpaid work.
