PAST EVENT
16 January – Vienna, Austria (Hybrid)

Paying tribute to Barbara Prammer, a staunch women’s rights defender in Austria, FEPS, the SPÖ Federal Women, the Karl-Renner-Institut, and the SPÖ Parliament Club joined forces for the 9th Barbara Prammer Symposium.

In light of the multiple crises and soaring energy bills having a disproportionate impact on women, this year’s overarching theme applied a gender lens on issues ranging from distributive justice to wealth taxation, labour, equality and recovery.

📕During the event, we presented the findings of one of the publications of the 👁️ #RecoveryWatch research: Towards a care-led recovery for the EU?‘. In this Policy Study, a feminist reading is applied to explore how care is addressed in the NextGenerationEU fund.

Twitter Thread
By Agnès Parent-Thirion, Laeticia Thissen and Aude Boisseuil

In this new dossier, the Progressive Post asks a largely unexplored question: to what extent is our very conception of the idea of ‘productivity’ gendered, when many forms of face-to-face services, among which care work, are incompatible with the logic of increasing productivity?

 Read the dossier on mental health which includes the following articles:
– ‘Job quality, the foundation of good working lives‘ by Agnès Parent-Thirion
– ‘One is not born (un)productive, one becomes so‘ by Laeticia Thissen
– ‘The domestic and home care sector: answering the structural weakness of EU member states’ care systems‘ by Aude Boisseuil

Health has also been a major topic for FEPS. You can find everything we did (research, events, articles, etc) on our website.
