Abstract: Amid the welter of “new initiatives†from Brussels promoting social integration is a programme for women which appears to offer something new. Nothing in the way of new money, nor novel employment projects, rather a distinctly feminist flavour: “equality†is now to be integrated “into general mainstream policy†; grassroot action - organisation at the local and regional level - is required; working life has to be “reconciled†with family responsibilities and, finally, “women's unequal representation in all spheres of decision making†has to be addressed. How far this rhetoric will translate into enhanced employment prospects for women, especially women in this country, is nevertheless highly problematic.
