The report analyses overall trends in gender mainstreaming policies in education and employment in the European Union (EU) member states and provides a general overview of the situation in Turkey, Jordan and Morocco. The papers provide an overview of the situation in these countries, and may be useful for potential donors in focusing on gender mainstreaming policies in future assistance programs and projects. The chapters are as follows: Gender mainstreaming in education and employment in the European Union: Gender mainstreaming in education and employment in three international organisations (The International Labour Organization: UNESCO: The World Bank): Gender mainstreaming policies in education and employment in Jordan, Morocco and Turkey.
'This Eurobarometer Survey seeks to measure Europeans' perceptions of gender inequalities within their own country: how widespread inequalities between women and men are, and whether the situation has improved or worsened compared with ten years ago: whether men or women are more likely to experience such .discrimination among particular groups of people (young, old, people with disabilities, migrants, single parents, and working parents with young children): and the areas of life (e.g. work, school, media, politics) where gender stereotypes are deemed to be most prevalent. It also examines Europeans’ general attitudes towards gender equality and, more specifically, the role of women in the workplace and the role of men at home. In .terms of tackling gender inequalities, the survey provides measures on Europeans’ opinions on which organisations have contributed most over the last ten years: whether this should be an EU priority: which areas should be dealt with most urgently: and what measures are considered to be the most effective at increasing the number of women in the workplace, and increasing the amount of time men spend on home care activities. .Finally, the survey explores the issue of violence against women – what Europeans think this encompasses and which specific forms of such violence the EU should focus its efforts on.'
