Special Eurobarometer 326: Gender equality in the EU in 2009

This new Eurobarometer survey on gender equality was commissioned by the European Commission DG Employment, Social Affairs and Equal Opportunities in autumn 2009. This report presents the results of the survey in four main sections; 1 PERCEPTION OF GENDER EQUALITY IN EUROPE The first section seeks to gauge the current situation, perceptions of the evolution of gender equality in the last ten years, knowledge of rights and personal experience of gender-based discrimination, the persistence of stereotypes, and the priorities for action. 2 GENDER EQUALITY IN DIFFERENT DOMAINS The second part focuses on different aspects of life which might have an impact on gender equality. 3 FIGHTING GENDER INEQUALITY – THE ROLE OF THE EU The third section looks at the role of the European Union and an overview of the efforts made to date. 4 GENDER EQUALITY IN THE FUTURE The fourth and final section looks to the future in 2030 and asks Europeans to assess whether gender equality will be more or less prevalent. #####The results by volumes are distributed as follows: * Volume A: Countries * Volume AA: Groups of countries * Volume A' (AP): Trends * Volume AA' (AAP): Trends of groups of countries * Volume B: EU/socio-demographics * Volume B' (BP) : Trends of EU/ socio-demographics * Volume C: Country/socio-demographics ---- Researchers may also contact GESIS - Leibniz Institute for the Social Sciences: [https://www.gesis.org/eurobarometer](https://www.gesis.org/eurobarometer)
