EUGenDem workshop: Gender perspectives on EU socio-economic governance

The first in the 2021-2 series of EUGenDem workshop sessions on ‘Gender perspectives on EU socio-economic governance‘ took place on 6 October 2021.

The socio-economic governance of the EU has been seen as a critical juncture for gender equality at the EU-level as well as in member states. How are the policies of EU socio-economic governance and the knowledge underpinning them gendered, and with what outcomes for gender equality? What kind of political struggles underpin these policies? The Covid-19 crisis and the EU Recovery and Resilience Facility mark a shift in governance processes as well as content. What role does gender have in the Facility?

Chair: Anna Elomäki (Tampere University, Finland)
