Reflections

gender, work and health promotion

Abstract

In the last three decades of the twentieth century the participatory process of Feminist movements has supported the development of social policies for women's health. By contrast, in the world of women's work, the impacts of the productive restructuring and the rapid changes in the global economy brought many consequences on women's employment. The purpose of this paper is to draw some considerations about the main changes in the sphere of health, work and health promotion for women in the end of the last century.
