- Description
- This report assesses the scientific productivity of women regarding scholarly journals. This study analyzes whether factors such as working, caring and teaching children at home during the COVID-19 pandemic influenced the productivity of female academics. It looked at submitted manuscripts and peer review activities for all Elsevier journals between February and May 2018-2020, including data on almost 6 million academics. Results showed that women submitted relatively fewer manuscripts than men during the COVID-19 lockdown months. The findings indicate that the pandemic has already created cumulative advantages for men.

- Description
- This study explores the phenomenon of precarious work in the EU from a gender and intersectionality perspective. It finds that women, particularly young women, those with a migrant background and women with low levels of educational attainment, are especially vulnerable. This is a recurring trend across all of the member states within the study’s scope. One of the key factors behind this is the disproportionate amount of time that women spend in caregiving roles and domestic work, something that is reinforced by COVID-19. The study is commissioned by the European Parliament’s Policy Department for Citizens’ Rights and Constitutional Affairs at the request of the FEMM Committee,

- Description
- The Gender Equality Index is a tool to measure the progress of gender equality in the EU, developed by EIGE. It gives more visibility to areas that need improvement and ultimately supports policy makers to design more effective gender equality measures.
The Gender Equality Index has tracked the painfully slow progress of gender equality in the EU since 2010, mostly due to advances in decision-making. While equality is more pronounced in some Member States than in others, it is far from a reality for everyone in every area. Gender norms around care, gender segregation in education and the labour market, and gender inequalities in pay remain pertinent.
The Index allows Member States to easily monitor and compare gender equality progress across various groups of women and men in the EU over time and to understand where improvements are most needed. The 2022 Index has a thematic focus on care in the pandemic. It explores the division of informal childcare, long-term care and housework between women and men.

- Description
- Across several social, economic, and political dimensions, women and girls are disproportionately affected by the COVID-19 crisis because of their sex. This working paper presents indicators for two dashboards, which give an overview of gender inequalities from the COVID-19 crisis. The first dashboard covers a set of indicators on capabilities at risk. The first set of indicators points to women's health and risk factors by examining women's presence in the health sector, access to sexual and reproductive health and their risk of underlying cardiovascular conditions. The second set of indicators explores women's presence in the formal and informal economy. The second dashboard offers indicators regarding safe space at the household level, time spent on unpaid domestic and care work, child marriage and intimate partner violence. It also covers indicators about women's representation in responding to the crisis through for example access to technology, education and political participation.

It also integrates two additional domains: violence and intersecting inequalities. It gives detailed analysis for the EU and each member state, the index shows country-level achievements and areas for improvement to lessen the gender gap. .This fifth edition of the index report focuses on the effects of digitalisation on the world of work and the consequences for gender equality. This topic is extremely relevant in the light of the COVID-19 pandemic, and the ways in which the working lives of women and men have been affected by it.

- Description
- This report consists of four chapters. The first illustrates the extent of gender inequalities in care and in pay in the EU and the linkages between the two. The second chapter reviews the two main policy approaches to tackling these inequal ities, which address equal sharing of care (among women and men within a household) and care externalisation (outsourcing care tasks to exter nal providers). The third chapter focuses mainly on externalisation as the predominantly adopted solution in the EU and illustrates the historical evolution of intra-household care arrangements, as well as families’ reasons for outsourcing care tasks to external service providers. The fourth chapter analyses the implications of externalisation, including care workers’ dire employment conditions and the role of COVID-19 in exposing the fragilities of the underfunded care sector. Finally, the report provides a range of policy recommendations for achieving greater equality in
the areas of unpaid care and paid employment, at both Member State and EU level.
