- Description
- This report analyzes data for all 50 states and the District of Columbia across six topical areas that affect women’s lives: political participation, employment and earnings, work and family, poverty and opportunity, health and well-being, and violence and safety. Within each of these areas, various indicators of well-being are explored. While the focus of the report is on the status of Black women, comparisons between Black women and other racial and ethnic groups of women (and men) are presented to contextualize the data. Basic demographic data for each state are also provided. The report concludes with recommendations to improve the status of Black women in the United States.

- Description
- 'In this report, authors present an overview of the information provided to workers in the project countries .and the extent to which they make use of it. The first way in which women can get answers to their questions is by visiting the information that is provided on the websites, as over 6 million people from these 12 countries did in the last year. Authors firstly describe the information that is provided for free through the WageIndicator websites. Then authors analyse the relative frequency at which the different topics are being consulted by web visitors, by studying the 11 million page views that the websites got between May 2014 and May 2015. .The second way that workers can address the Labour Rights for Women project for answers is through direct contact with the local teams. In the second part of this report, authors relate the experiences of local team members, who answer questions sent via email or posed in meetings and work place visits. Together, these two analyses provide a picture of the issues that women workers in the twelve countries deal with and the problems they attempt to solve.'

- Description
- 'With an aging population and declining productivity growth, Europe faces serious challenges to raising its output growth. Adding to these challenges are the various gender gaps in the labor market. Despite significant progress in recent decades, there are still fewer women than men participating in Europe’s labor market, and women are more likely to work part time. Furthermore, a smaller share of women reaches the top rungs of the corporate ladder. .Against this backdrop, this paper investigates the drivers of female labor force participation in Europe as well as what effects greater gender diversity in senior corporate positions might have for Europe’s economic performance. Reexamining the factors driving women’s labor force participation is particularly important because in many European countries the process of closing the gender gap has stalled despite greater gender equality in human capital investment, declining birth rates, changing social norms, and equal legal access to employment opportunities. .For women in Europe the decision to work is not simply a matter of personal choice—policies matter, too. .More women in the labor force paves the way for increased diversity in senior corporate positions and better firm performance. The empirical evidence suggests a strong positive association between firms’ gender diversity in senior positions and corporate financial performance.'

- 'Report which addresses the work-life balance of carers of dependent persons by examining three main social policy arrangements: leave schemes, cash benefits and benefits in kind. To this end, the 35 ESPN Country Teams provided, first, a brief description of the main features of their national long-term care (LTC) systems and, secondly, an assessment of the implementation of the aforementioned policy arrangements. Particular attention was given to the coverage and take-up of benefits, the impact of work-life balance policies on the employment situation of caregivers and on the well-being of the carers (mostly female relatives) and cared-for persons.'

- Description
- 'Op basis van al eerder verzamelde gegevens schetst dit rapport een beeld van de hulp die volwassen dochters en zonen aan hun (schoon)ouders geven. Deze kinderen zijn vaak tussen de 35 en 65 jaar en bevinden zich meestal in het spitsuur van hun leven: ze hebben vaak een baan en/of een gezin. .Uit deze publicatie blijkt dat dochters vaker voor hun (schoon)ouders zorgen dan zonen en dat het verschil groter is als het om langdurige en intensieve hulp gaat. .Mogelijk heeft dit gevolgen voor hun arbeidsdeelname en emancipatie. Of mensen in staat zijn om arbeid en zorg te combineren, zonder in een al te gehaast bestaan terecht te komen, zal sterk samenhangen met bijvoorbeeld verlofregelingen en de mogelijkheden om flexibel te werken. Dat geldt zowel voor vrouwen als voor mannen, en zowel voor helpers van (schoon)ouders als van anderen.'

- Description
- 'This, the sixth annual European Jobs Monitor report, looks in more detail at recent shifts (from the second quarter (Q2) of 2011 to 2016 Q2) in employment at Member State and aggregate EU levels. Part 1 of the report applies a ‘jobs-based approach’ to describe employment shifts quantitatively (how many jobs were created or destroyed and in what sectors) and qualitatively (what kinds of jobs they were, primarily in terms of average hourly pay). Part 2, a more analytical section, discusses the role that occupations play in structuring European wage inequality, and to what extent the observed patterns of job polarisation and upgrading have contributed to wage inequality trends in the last decade.'

- '2015 marks the 20th anniversary of the agreement signed by 189 countries that attended the Fourth World Conference on Women in Beijing, China. Over the last two decades, Africa has made significant strides in developing progressive frameworks to advance the rights of women.This report is structured around four main sections: the first section offers an overview of the evolution of the socio-economic and political terrain within which women’s rights work has occurred. The second substantive sections summarises the key findings from the 51 state reports and the trends noted across all 51 state reports that were submitted to the United Nations Economic Commission for Africa (UNECA). The third substantive section looks at the 12 critical areas, assessing gaps in state reporting and highlighting illustrative examples where innovation and/or where progress has occurred in specific states. These illustrations are not designed to highlight what all 51 reporting states have done in the 12 areas. The final section concludes with a set of recommendations.'

- Description
- '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.'
