Abstract

This article examines the gender effects of the crisis, focused on the Spanish case. The article gathers the latest labour market’s statistics and identifies the key features of the women's working lives, identifying the characteristics which make women particularly vulnerable. From this point of view, its goal is to assess the impact of economic conditions in immigrant women and in women less than 25 years. In a broader perspective, the article takes into account the privatization’s trend of the basic services and the political restrictions that the "women friendly policies”, as the "Law of Dependency" is, are undergoing. From our point of view, an especially interesting section is the one which weighs up, from a gender perspective, the effects of the working life on health. Finally, founded on the ILO data, the paper sketches the likely of some actual employment of women’s trends and it suggests possible gender alternatives to the crisis
