Abstract

Die #MeToo-Debatte hat Geschlechterthemen verstärkt in die öffentliche Aufmerksamkeit gebracht. Die Grundlagen für die Einstellungen zu Geschlechterthemen und Gleichstellung werden im Kindes- und Jugendalter gelegt. Damit sind Geschlechterdifferenzen auch im Bildungssystem zentrale Themen. Das ifo Bildungsbarometer 2018, der jährlichen repräsentativen Umfrage bei über 4 000 Erwachsenen in Deutschland, hat die Meinung der Deutschen zu diesem Themenfeld erhoben. Die große Mehrheit der Deutschen – 74% der Frauen und 66% der Männer – finden es positiv, dass eine öffentliche Debatte über sexuelle Belästigung geführt wird. Dabei sehen 45% der Frauen und 30% der Männer sexuelle Belästigung in Deutschland als ernsthaftes Problem an. Drei-Viertel-Mehrheiten sind dafür, dass Themen wie Gleichstellung, Gewalt und Machtmissbrauch von Männern gegenüber Frauen und sexuelle Belästigung im Schulunterricht behandelt werden. Im Gegensatz zum Arbeitsmarkt, wo mehrheitlich von einer Bevorzugung von Männern ausgegangen wird, sehen deutliche Mehrheiten der Frauen und Männer an den Schulen und Universitäten generell keine geschlechtsspezifische Bevorzugung. Mehrheitlich sind die Deutschen dafür, dass Lehrkräfte in ihrer Aus- und Fortbildung lernen, wie sie bei ihrer Unterrichtsgestaltung besser auf Geschlechterunterschiede eingehen können. In Mathematik und Sprachen wird getrenntgeschlechtlicher Unterricht von deutlichen Mehrheiten abgelehnt, geteilter ist die Meinung in Sport. Für verpflichtende Geschlechterquoten bei Führungspositionen in Unternehmen finden sich sowohl bei Frauen als auch bei Männern relative, aber keine absoluten Mehrheiten. Für verpflichtende Geschlechterquoten in der Politik, bei Universitätsprofessuren und bei der Studienplatzvergabe gibt es bei Frauen ebenfalls deutliche relative (aber keine absoluten) Mehrheiten, hingegen nicht so sehr bei Männern. Sowohl Männer als auch Frauen sind mehrheitlich der Meinung, dass Mütter junger Kinder, nicht hingegen Väter, ihre Berufstätigkeit reduzieren sollten.
