Description
Summary:Examines the findings of the Foundation's Third European survey on working conditions 2000. It explains the reasons for the persistence of gender segregation and sets out policy recommendations. Workplace cultures and informal procedures make it difficult for women to break through into the higher levels of management. The unequal division of unpaid household work also persists, as women continue to bear the main responsibility for running the home and looking after children, even when employed full-time.
