Women and men as members of the boards of the largest quoted companies

Women and men as academic staff (highest grade) 2010

-Women make up half of the work force, …but only 40% are employed (FTE) ; -Only 5% of women are researchers … but in 2010, around 60% of university graduates were women ; -Women are underrepresented in decision making power …as well as in the highest academic positions; Outcomes

Stereotypes in gender roles toward : -Career opportunities for women in decision making; -Gendered organisation of work ; (work/life balance, concentration of power) Barriers

Prerequisites for undertaking structural change 1.Knowing the institution: developing statistics to monitor (administrative data); 2.Securing top level support from persons in positions of responsibility; 3.Implementing Gender Mainstreaming

Institutional mechanism for gender mainstreaming Institutional capacity and use of methods and tools (Gender Impact Assessment) Competence development – support in implementation

Institutional capacity

Institutional capacity in Research and Innovation Overall assessment of gender mainstreaming in research and innovation Gender blind Gender partially integrated Gender sensitive Impact drivers Strategic policies on R&I 1.Specific structures for GM in R&I 2.Use of sex disaggregated data 3.Recognition of gender differences (e.g. in roles and responsibilities) 4.Gendered structure or system (reproduction of inequalities)

Main findings Goals underlying GM reveal different types of values Sex-disaggregated data the most commonly used method for GM The presence of commitment to Gender Equality does not imply that a GM strategy (or consciously planned approach) is in place.

Recommendations: - Strengthened legal obligations for GM - Enhanced cooperation and networking - Development of indicators for monitoring GM - Commitment to improve gender competence of civil servants across different sectors.
