| description | In recent years, the number of women entering the Spanish labour market in salaried employment has steadily increased. In contrast, however, the parallel process of men devoting themselves to domestic work, including that of looking after children and dependent adults, has not taken place. As a result, working women with family commitments are at a clear disadvantage in comparison with men. A number of legal measures are currently being brought into force, precisely in order to improve the situation of women in this position. This study seeks to appraise these measures in order to ascertain their degree of effectiveness, and, as the case may be, to explain why, in our opinion, they are scarcely effective. |
