This decline appears to be strongly linked to the disappearance of the specific gender guidelines following on from the earlier removal of the equal opportunities pillar from the European Employment Strategy guidelines.

Employment in Europe 2003: Recent Trends and Prospects

This is the 15th edition of Employment in Europe. And, like the first edition, this one arrives at a difficult time. Europe recovers slowly from recession, after several years of strong economic growth and employment creation. However, there are major differences between the present situation, and that of the past. The first difference ? and this is the purpose of this report ? is that we are now much better informed about the way Europe?s labour markets work than we were 15 years ago. We understand the factors driving the demand for labour, and its supply. We have learnt about the social and economic forces that determine the nature and form of the workplace. We are discovering the way in which our economies and labour marketsinteract.
