 Kadın emeğinin kırılganlığı, cinsiyet ayrımcılığı hususundaki en önemli konulardan biridir. Ekonomik, sosyal, politik, çevresel ve doğal riskle, toplumsal cinsiyet dinamiklerine göre kadınlar ve erkekler üzerinde önemli farklı etkilere sahiptir. Bu noktada her alanda olduğu gibi işgücü alanında da kadın-erkek eşitliğinin sağlanmasında yerel yönetimlere önemli görevler düşmektedir. Çünkü yerel yönetimler birçok yerel ve ortak ihtiyacın karşılanmasının yanı sıra toplumsal sorunların çözümü ve yerel kalkınmanın sağlanması konusunda da önemli rollere sahiptir. Bu çalışmada, kadın emeğinin kırılganlığı, yerel yönetimler açısından ele alınmıştır. Bu çerçevede öncelikle Kayseri Büyükşehir Belediyesinin kadın emeğinin kırılganlığına karşı izlediği politikalar incelenmiştir. Daha sonra Kayseri Büyükşehir Belediyesinde görev yapan 13 kadın ile derinlemesine görüşme yapılarak bu politikaların etki ve memnuniyet düzeyi ölçülmeye çalışılmıştır. Çalışmadan elde edilen bulgulara göre ilgili kurumda kadın emeğinin kırılganlığına yönelik politikalar ve memnuniyet düzeyinde kurum yöneticilerinin çok önemli bir payı bulunmaktadır. Bununla birlikte, ilgili konudaki politikaların genellikle huksal düzeyde kaldığı, hukuksal düzeyin gerçeğe yansımasında problem yaşandığı söylenebilir.
