Life

Studies and activities

Welskop-Deffaa studied economics and history at the Ludwig Maximilians University in Munich and at the European University Institute in Florence . After completing her degree (Diplom-Volkswirtin Univ.), She was initially a research assistant at the Chair of Economic History (Full Professor Knut Borchardt). After completing postgraduate studies at the European University Institute and doing freelance work, she worked for a member of the Bundestag until 1996.

She then worked for the Catholic German Women's Association as a policy advisor and from 1999 to 2006 she was head of the Economics and Society Department for the Central Committee of German Catholics .

From 2006 to 2012 Welskop-Deffaa was Ministerial Director in the Federal Ministry for Family Affairs and Head of Department for Equal Opportunities and Equal Opportunities under the ministers Ursula von der Leyen and Kristina Schröder . In this function, she initiated the Federal Government's first gender equality report and thus a strategic expansion of gender equality policy to include a life-course perspective .

She was Chairman of the Board of the European Institute for Gender Equality (ger .: European Institute for Gender Equality ), one in Vilnius -based European agency that the EU countries and institutions - namely the Commission - supported in this area and to June 2012 Representative of the Federal Government on the Administrative Council of the Federal Employment Agency.

She was elected to the ver.di federal executive board for the first time in March 2013, confirmed in September 2015 and was responsible for labor market and social policy there until February 2017. Her area of ​​responsibility included the representation of migrants, the unemployed and the severely disabled in the United Services Union.

In recent years, the focus of her lectures and publications has increasingly been questions about the working world 4.0 and digital transformation . Together with Peter Weiss MdB, she presented the concept of Pension 4.0 , which discusses the future of old-age insurance in the world of work 4.0. In the administrative board of the BA and in the board of the German pension insurance, she paid particular attention to the integration of refugee women and men. Since her move to the federal executive board of the German Caritas Association, the shortage of housing, the consolidation of poverty in the life course and the future of welfare care have also been topics of her lectures and publications.

Her transfer to temporary retirement in 2012 by Family Minister Schröder, for which no reasons were given, was criticized from many sides. In a joint letter to the Chancellor , the spokespersons for the women's representative in Germany complained about the “dismaying signal”. Because of the expulsion of the "extremely competent, well-informed and strategically clever contact person" Welskop-Deffaa, they "lost the certainty" of working together with the ministry on a goal. The President of the German Association of Women Lawyers , Ramono Pisal, stated: “With the dismissal of Ms. Welskop-Deffaa, equality policy at the federal level has lost one of its most committed champions. Highly competent, with profound expertise and a professional sense of proportion for what is politically feasible, she was, like many other associations, an attentive and responsive contact person at all times. "Marlies Brouwers, chairwoman of the German Women's Council , explained:" With Eva Maria Welskop-Deffaa, our country's gender equality policy is losing one committed fighter, the German Women's Council a competent and contentious interlocutor. ”The chairwoman of the UN Women National Committee Germany e. V., Karin Nordmeyer, said: "The early retirement of our competent contact person and staunch advocate for equal opportunities for women means a major setback for equality policy in our country and in international matters." In addition, the ministry is losing a great deal of knowledge with her departure in national and international women's politics and in experience with their networks.

On November 15, 2016, Eva Welskop-Deffaa was elected by the Caritas Council to the three-person board of the German Caritas Association (DCV).
