| Abstract: | The Lisbon strategy has introduced new integrated guidelines for economic policy and employment strategy with a new report format, the National Reform Programme. Member States have paid less attention to gender mainstreaming and gender (here as: g.) equality objectives during the first year of this new reporting mechanism. Illustrated is an evaluation of the policy trajectory in relation to the 'making work pay' agenda for low-waged workers. It is concluded that this latest reform to the Lisbon process has exposed the enormous amount of political work and capacity building needed to mainstream g. issues in economic, employment and social policies fields. |
