- Dit rapport bevat de gegevens van een onderzoek dat uit twee onderdelen bestaat. Eerst werd aan een aantal geselecteerde mensen uit de hulpverlenings- en onderzoekssector in groepsverband de vraag voorgelegd één (of meerdere) typologie(ën) van zwerfmeiden te geven. Vervolgens werd met een zestiental zwerfmeiden en ex-zwerfmeiden een diepte-interview gehouden. Op deze wijze werd getracht vooral kwalitatieve gegevens over zwerfmeiden, hun carrières en hun leefstijl te verzamelen. Het rapport sluit af met conclusies en aanbevelingen voor de hulpverlening.

- Description
- 'Based on employee pipeline data from 132 companies, two broad themes emerge this year: .1 ) On average, women are promoted and hired at lower rates than men, so far fewer women become senior leaders. .(2) At more senior levels, we see women shift from line to staff roles, so very few end up on the path to becoming CEO. .Despite modest progress since 2015, women remain underrepresented in the corporate pipeline. At every step, the representation of women declines, and this does not appear to be the result of company-level attrition. On average, the women and men in this study are leaving their organizations at about the same rate.'

- Description
- This study takes a wide-angle, comparative lens to the lives of men – as sons and husbands and fathers, at home and at work, in public and private life – to better understand how they see their positions as men, and their attitudes and actions toward gender equality in the Middle East and North Africa. Equally important are women’s perspectives on these same issues. Its wealth of quantitative and qualitative findings complements a growing body of research on men and masculinities in the MENA region.

- Description
- 'In all countries of the world, especially in high-income countries, women declare a higher level of life satisfaction than men when they experience similar conditions (for example, pay and working conditions), but score lower on measures that capture short-term positive and negative emotions, and suffer from higher levels of depression. It is true that the advantage of women in terms of happiness and life satisfaction is not uniform along the life cycle: women are less happy than men the age of 18, happier than men afterwards and until their fifties, and less again thereafter. .The positive gap in life satisfaction is not explained by women’s situation on the labour market, their income, education, personality traits or other personal features or living conditions. On the contrary, women would have obvious reasons to be less satisfied with their life and their professional situation than men: they perform longer hours of unpaid work, receive lower wages and are still predominantly clustered into less prestigious occupations. Authors propose two main explanations for this contrasted picture. The first one is that men and women make different use of their time, especially when they live together. The second one is that they have different expectations.'

- Description
- 'This research focuses on heterosexual Dutch male attitudes towards the sex industry. The purpose was to explore how their cultural environment may provide a different script for sexuality development and therefore different opinions on legalization or criminalization of prostitution. The goal was to answer the question of whether or not Dutch males, compared to men interviewed in previous research, developed a different attitude towards sex work and sex workers within the context of legal prostitution and more comprehensive sex education, both of which aid in creating a cultural script that impacts sexuality development. Four Dutch males were interviewed along with one former sex worker. In the analysis, the results were compared to prior research to determine commonalities and differences. Conclusions illustrated an increase in support for legal prostitution, different reasons for utilizing services, a recognition of buying sex services as more common and less associated with criminal activity.'

- 'This survey shows that mothers express their need to be valued and listened to. No matter their background, age, or socio-demographic profile, 11,000 mothers across Europe have expressed similar opinions, wishes and concerns. Respondent mothers have a strong sense of responsibility towards their families and children. They also know that being a mother is essential to them, to their children, to their family and to society. For most .European families, time is a difficult issue because of the tension between employment and family life, and in particular during the “rush hour” of their life. Employers, policy makers and public opinion should be aware of the .difficulty for mothers to follow a linear path in their career if they are to be more involved in the care and upbringing of their children.'

- Description
- 'A qualitative study of the influences of attitudes on work preferences and employment patterns of Dutch mothers. It shows that a woman’s employment behaviour is the result of a dynamic relationship between her personal work preferences and gender and work attitudes on the one hand, and her work experiences and cultural normative gender expectations on the other, rather than the outcome of a free choice. The study further reveals the prevalence of ‘a narrative of non-complaining’ among Dutch mothers regarding their spouses’ contribution to the home work.'

- The purpose of the study is to bring out often-neglected facts concerning dissimilarities in the lifestyles and consumption patterns of women and men, and thus in their environmental impact, by describing how men, primarily through their greater mobility and more extensive travel, account for more carbon dioxide emissions than women, in both rich and poor countries. The study points to how a changed behaviour among men – notably rich men who are decision-makers – can be crucial in addressing climate change and in enhancing the opportunities of all human beings to enjoy sustainable development.. .The study is an ideas paper presented at the 15PthP meeting of the UN Commission for Sustainable Development in May 2007.
