Description
Abstract
La trasposición al Derecho español de la Directiva (UE) 2019/1158 ha sido muy compleja, a través de tres normas sucesivas, además de otra que en su momento fue rechazada por el Parlamento. Incluso el Tribunal de Justicia de la Unión Europea ha impuesto una sanción al Reino de España por los incumplimientos y el retraso en dicha trasposición. En este estudio se realiza un análisis crítico sobre esa sucesión normativa, basado en tres ideas fundamentales: la primera, que la normativa interna cumple actualmente con las exigencias de la Directiva, de tal forma que no hay desajustes aparentes. La segunda, que la acumulación de diversas medidas teóricamente dirigidas a la conciliación de la vida familiar y laboral produce un importante desorden en el modelo interno, en el que conviven instituciones muy antiguas con un marcado sesgo de género con otras más actuales, verdaderamente dirigidas a conseguir conductas más corresponsables de los trabajadores varones. La tercera que, a causa de este desorden y de este mantenimiento de medidas muy anticuadas, la aplicación práctica del ordenamiento español producirá el mantenimiento del estereotipo de género de la mujer trabajadora como primera cuidadora, especialmente a partir del primer año de vida del niño o de la niña.
Abstract: The transposition of Directive (EU) 2019/1158 into Spanish law has been highly complex, involving three successive pieces of legislation, in addition to another that was rejected by Parliament. The Court of Justice of the European Union has even imposed a sanction on the Kingdom of Spain for non-compliance and delays in its transposition. This study presents a critical analysis of this legislative succession, based on three fundamental ideas: first, that domestic legislation currently complies with the Directive’s requirements, such that there are no apparent discrepancies. Second, that the accumulation of various measures theoretically aimed at reconciling work and family life creates significant disorder in the domestic legal framework, where very old institutions with a marked gender bias coexist with more recent ones genuinely aimed at achieving greater co-responsibility among male workers. The third point is that, because of this disorder and this maintenance of very outdated measures, the practical application of the Spanish legal system will produce the maintenance of the gender stereotype of the working woman as the primary caregiver, especially from the first year of the child’s life.
