Flash Eurobarometer 371 : Women and Gender Inequalities in the Context of the Crisis

This survey focused on women and gender inequalities in the context of the crisis. Among the other subjects addressed: recruitment selection criteria and priority measures to be promoted with a view to the 2014 European elections. Europeans rank the pay gap (38%) as the most important gender inequality, followed jointly by violence against women (34%) and the greater difficulties for women in reconciling their private and working lives (34%). Almost one in three Europeans say that the crisis has in particular worsened the pay gap (30%) and made it more difficult for women to reconcile their private and working lives (30%). For almost half of women "increasing the availability of child care facilities" would be the most effective measure for getting or keeping a job.
