Gender segregation in the labour market and education in Croatia

The mutual learning seminar, held in Copenhagen on the 29th and 30th September 2015, focused on the issue of gender segregation in the labour market and education with particular focus on attracting more male pedagogues to the field of early childhood education and care (ECEC) and promoting more women and girls in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM).

The debate emphasised that in order to overcome gender segregation, organisations need to implement effective equality practices in a systematic manner, promoting diversity and addressing work life balance. At a societal level change needs to be stimulated by promoting shared care and domestic work as well as the affordability and quality of childcare services.

All the participating countries provided a Comment Paper, the Croatian contribution is available here.
