Gender Equality In The European Union ". Comparative Study Of Spain And Italy"

This monograph is a comparative study of legal initiatives and social practices on equality and nondiscrimination,
from a gender perspective, in two european legal systems, namely spain and italy. the
two countries share significant historical, cultural, social and legal similarities and are alike in the
respective legal structures, territorial organisation and distribution of competences.
this comparative study of the legal structures provides a general analysis and offers a dual perspective
as it is organised in such a way as to show both the overall and specific regulatory sources and the
contributions of science and jurisprudence to this subject in both countries.
the ultimate legal context of this study is the european social law. this conceptual framework is aimed
at harmonising the different national legislations on non-discrimination policies and the promotion of
effective equality for women and men.
