Gender equality: EU challenges and policies [What Think Tanks are thinking]

Equality between women and men is one of the European Union's founding values. Under the 'Strategic engagement for gender equality 2016-2019' policy plan, the EU seeks to increase female labour-market participation, reduce the gender pay gap, promote equality between women and men in decision-making, fight gender-based violence, and promote gender equality across the world. However, despite all efforts, such as adopting legislation on equal treatment, gender inequality remains a serious problem in Europe.

This note offers links to commentaries and reports published in recent years by major international think tanks on issues relating to gender inequality in the EU and other related topics.
