The conference aimed at defining the common challenges that Asia and Europe are facing today, and to seek suitable social and economic systems for women and men in a changing environment resulting from factors such as globalization and the information technology revolution. An overview, a summary of discussion, and eight background papers—four from Asia and four from Europe—are included.The overview analyzes deliberations at the conference in light of past initiatives to promote women's status and mainstream gender perspectives in political, social, and economic systems.
