Abstract

Irish women's participation in the labour market

Ireland had and still has the lowest percentage of working women in Europe. When the country joined the EC it eliminated certain

formal factors of exclusion which concerned women, such as the prohibition of access to jobs in the public service or banks.

However, the author, Evelyn Mahon shows how the principle of equal opportunity is only partially put into practice. Above all, she

analyses how a tax system unfavourable to working mothers, forces them out of the labour market particularly if their income is

low, due to the poor organization and above all the high cost of child care. The paper also shows how access to work is denied

by indirect discrimination.
