Women in European politics – time for action ( 10/03/2009 )
Catalog N. : KE-81-09-543-EN-C
Prepared for the Directorate-General for Employment, Social Affairs and Equal Opportunities (European Commission), this report aims to raise awareness of the extent of gender inequality in politics by analysing the current situation and investigating some of the reasons that the persistent deficit is proving so difficult to break down. The report is split into two sections, the main section covers the gender balance in politics at all levels and examines the current situation of women as elected representatives, the extent to which they are selected as candidates for election, how this links to electoral success and some of the reasons behind the limited progress to date. The second section briefly analyses the situation in some other areas, including business and public administration. This report is targeted at stakeholders in gender equality, Member States, EU and international Institutions, social partners, media, NGOs, academics and companies. It is available in English, French and German
