- Description
- The authors revisit women, first interviewed a decade earlier in Pamela Stone’s book 'Opting Out? Why Women Really Quit Careers and Head Home' about taking a career break of high-level jobs to raise children. They talk about the challenges when they return to work. Most succeed, but not in their former white-collar jobs due to the lack of flexibility in hours, but in lower-paid jobs in the gig economy or predominantly female nonprofit sector. An account of the consequences for women seeking to strike a work/life balance, how women can reinvent their careers, and the policy reforms needed in the upper strata of the labour market where patriarchy and capitalism operates.

- Description
- This report gives a picture of where women stand today and how they have progressed in the world of work over the last 20 years, and of the root causes of inequalities and how they should be tackled based on what works and the guidance provided by international labour standards. It shows that, despite some encouraging advances, major gender gaps at work remain. Increasing gender parity in educational attainment does not prevent women from being concentrated in middle to lower-paid occupations that reflect traditional gender stereotypes and beliefs about women’s and men’s aspirations and capabilities.

- 'The aim of this comparative report is to identify the structural characteristics of the sexual division of – paid and unpaid – labour and to suggest how this may effect women’s access to and experiences of academic professions, particularly whether (or not) women are expected to maintain continuous and full-time commitment to the labour market over the entire course of their adult lives: whether or not they are presumed to have main responsibility for domestic and care activities and whether or not measures exist to facilitate the combination of work and personal / family life, either at the national or institutional level.'

- This book aims to bring a new understanding of the fabric of categories of gender and work and their impact on different groups of actors. It focuses on the circulation and transformation of categories, through distinct institutions - such as language, science and research, statistics, law, social policies - and on the dynamics of social conflicts and resistance which over time have led to the institutionalization of specific categories. It focuses on specific developments in France and Germany through a transnational lens.

- Description
- Dissertation Wageningen University & Research. Women play an important role in agricultural production, especially horticulture in Senegal, by managing their own farm and by providing their labour to their husband's fields. This thesis aims to investigate the economic performance of horticultural households in Senegal, using efficiency and profitability as main indicators and adopting a gender perspective. Research questions addressed are the efficiency of the allocation of household resources over men and women, the efficiency of contracts with hired workers, either as wage labourers or as sharecroppers for household profit optimization, risk behaviour across gender, and its effects on the economic performance and the choice of labour contracts. Summary in English, French and Dutch.

Its goal is to achieve equality by encouraging both genders to partake as agents of change and take action against negative stereotypes and behaviors. The HeForShe Champions initiative engages world leaders, global CEOs and university presidents to address gender issues. Each Champion has made three specific, measurable and transformative commitments towards achieving gender equality. This report provides an update on their progress, with data on gender representation (Gender Parity Data) and first-hand experiences from those involved, such as the men's movement, in creating the changes and those positively impacted by them (good practices).

- Description
- The topic of work-life balance affects both women and men and is a top priority for the EU. This is why it was chosen as this year’s thematic focus of the Index. In the private sphere, the unequal sharing of cleaning, cooking and caring responsibilities has hardly changed. The bulk of this unpaid work continues to fall on women. That makes it harder for them to juggle work and personal life, which impacts on their earning potential and the well-being of the women themselves and the people closest to them.
