Activité, précarité, chômage : Toujours plus ?

Abstract

Since the beginning of the 1980's, the feminization of the wageearnings class has increased, even during the economic crisis. The lack of employment demand has not affected this trend, but it has debased the employment conditions of women. As a consequence, women are more often than men unemployed or under-employed and working poors. This paper deals with the growth of female participation in France and Europe. Then, it focuses on the female unemployment. At last, it analyses the development of under-employment and working poverty.
