Existenzsicherung von Frauen und der Wandel der Rollenleitbilder in Frnkreich: empirische Befunde, aktuelle Modelle, Perspetktiven

Résumé

This paper provides empirical evidence of the shift from the breadwinner and dependant model of family towards an adult worker model in France. The purpose is to compare the changes in civil law and social security law with social practices. Three questions are investigated here: How dependant or independent income security of women is achieved in France? What kind of support do women receive to enhance their independent income security? To what extend care work is regarded as an equivalent to gainful employment then generating independent income security for care givers ? The investigation shows that changes in models are progressively taking place in France although not completely achieved. Women have been supported both as workers and as carers, enabling them to « choose » between working and caring. However, despite the fact that more and more women are in paid work, care responsibilities continue to shape their career and their social rights entitlement with consequences on pensions in old age. Examples of securisation are provided. The last part of the paper focus on lone mothers and women in old age, underlying the poverty risk they are exposed to. The conclusion discusses the « free choice » principle, emphasising its limits in promoting self-responsibility for women.
