Mají ženy práva, jen když je to ekonomicky výhodné?

This paper elaborates on a theoretical framework for studying relationships between economic arguments and logic on one hand, and legal interventions promoting gender equality on the other, in particular from the perspective of a feminist legal theory. It utilises examples of gender-equalising policies and legislation introduced at the international level to explain different variations and forms of these relationships. It also offers a theoretical and empirical basis for a claim that economic profitability is an inherent part of the legal concept of gender equality and shows why this interdependence is part of the persistent and recurring problem of gender inequality.
