National reviews
A collection of reviews of the national situation on gender segregation and SMEs for the purpose of the workshops in European countries and EFTA countries (Iceland and Norway).
Does the European economy manage to make full use of its human capital?
The country review intends to contribute to this discussion, from the gender perspective. The documents do not have the ambition to give an exhaustive picture of gender issues in the labour markets of the countries involved. They rather aim to enrich with country-specific information the tools that the initiative offers to all those engaged in improving SME competitiveness and productivity. They collect up-to-date statistical data and qualitative information on the different ways in which women and men enter and progress into employment and occupations in the various countries. They contain information on existing legislative provisions, public and private initiatives and good practices. Suggestions on the impact of gender stereotypes are also provided, to initiate dialogue and action at enterprise level. The final aim is to offer concrete suggestions on how SMEs in the selected countries can overcome gender stereotypes and tap the business potential of gender equality.
The documents are available in English.
