| Tiivistelmä: | In the mid-2000s, the 'flexicurity' (henceforth as: flxcty.) strategy reached the top of the European Union's policy agenda. The article deals with the meaning of internal and external flexibility and the employment-based security with different implications for men and women. It is shown that women are often more 'flexible' workers than men, especially as to their contractual arrangements and hours of employment. However, they tend not to be economically autonomous and, it is argued, the supply-side policies advocated on the security side of the flxcty. matrix are insufficient to improve their position, which is strongly related to the gendered divisions of paid and unpaid work. |
