Abstract

This report provides an overview of the gender gap in labour market participation across EU countries, its determinants, as well as policies aimed at improving gender equality in the labour market.

Against this background, the report proposes key actions that are likely to reduce the gender gap in labour market participation across the European Union. [...]
