Abstract

Since 1989, post-socialist1 Central and Eastern European countries have undertaken significant reforms of their social policies and social security systems. One of the key challenges in so doing was balancing the tension between a tradition of — and in some countries continued commitment to — extensive welfare provisioning and income redistribution on the one hand, and the residualist social policy setup advocated by the currently dominant global neoliberal economic framework on the other. Among the multiple challenges faced during the reforms, abolishing gender inequality was given little, if any, priority.
