Gen și interese politice : teorii și practici

Abstract

What do citizens want from politicians? How do they allocate public goods? From whom and how would they take taxes if they so decided? Is it relevant whether citizens are women or men? The great grievances of the inhabitants of this country are related to the most underfunded areas of public interest: health, education, social protection, civilizing infrastructure. As in these areas, by political decision, the lowest salaries of all budgetary areas are practiced, women earn little, even if they have higher qualified professions. They are condemned to poverty and dependency not because they are idle, do not work and do not study, but because the policy of all governments has been constructed in such a way that public money is not allocated or is very little precisely for the work of raising, educating and caring for them. In this volume, the authors set out to present the theoretical tools underlying the gender analysis of political interests and to apply them in a few cases, in everyday life, in the labor market or in the study of social exclusion.
