  • domestic work

    a materialist feminist approach proposed by Delphy (1998) analyzes it as the constituent of a patriarchal / domestic mode of production, where women's work is appropriated by the head of the household. This conceptualization would lead to measuring exclusively the time spent on tasks performed for other members of the family (difficult to operationalize for statistical measurement purposes) and not to consider as domestic work the domestic tasks performed by people who live alone. (Ponthieux, 2015)

This effort to standardize European indicators is part of a trend towards transnational harmonization of educational policies in Europe, even if these remain the responsibility of member states

  • diversity of learning

    a distinction is made between formal learning - valued by the Bologna process, at the initiative of the Ministries of National Education of the countries of the European Union which has made it possible to translate all diplomas and certifications in terms of skills since 2000, to allow better mobility of Europeans and non-formal and informal learning - enhanced by the Copenhagen process, at the initiative of the ministries of employment and labor since 2002, which insists on a holistic approach: school, outside school, in the workplace.
