“Happy” International Women’s Day Some data for NL (source: https://lnkd.in/eNPpT472.): - We rank 28th on the WEF ranking for equality between men and women - Almost half of all women (44%) are financially dependent on their spouse or the government - Women earn on average 13% less than men (adjusted) - Women contribute 1.5x as much to unpaid labour than men (childcare, household, etc) - For every female executive, there are 6 (!) male counterparts #fixthesystem

While there is still a lot of inequality, it’s encouraging to see that the numbers have been rising over the years. According to a study by the CBS, about 70% of women in the Netherlands are now financially independent, up from just 20% forty-five years ago. Isn’t that amazing? The article also talks about how women have had to fight for their economic rights. It’s shocking to think that until 1958, women were automatically fired from government jobs upon marriage. Thanks to persistent efforts and women’s strikes in the late 20th century, significant strides have been made towards equality. However, there’s still a wage gap that needs our attention. Women are still earning less than men, with a 5.1% difference in the public sector and a whopping 16.4% in the private sector. It’s particularly noticeable in top positions. On a personal note, I find it both inspiring and motivating to see how far we’ve come, but it also reminds me that there’s still work to be done. Let’s keep pushing for change, supporting each other, and fighting for the equality we deserve. What are your thoughts on this? Let’s keep the conversation going! 💪🌟 #EconomicEquality #WomenEmpowerment #Progress #EqualityForAll #FinancialIndependence #GenderEquality https://lnkd.in/eqCfbp8k

Just ~100 years ago, women could not vote. In some countries, up until ~50 years ago, women could not open a bank account without a male relative's permission. Feminism has been instrumental in driving these changes, serving as a powerful catalyst for progress. However, our work towards true equality is far from over. At CeTLeR, we're committed to contributing to this ongoing effort through our research initiatives. Here are some of the gender-related research papers from our talented team: - Cassel, S. H., Thulemark, M., & Duncan, T. (2018). Career paths and mobility in the Swedish hospitality sector. Tourism Geographies, 20(1), 29-48. - De Silva, J., & Thulemark, M. (2022). Can you break through a cement ceiling?–female chefs’ possibilities for a career in the Sri Lankan culinary industry. Anatolia, 33(3), 507-510. - Heldt Cassel, S., & Pashkevich, A. (2018). Tourism development in the Russian Arctic: Reproducing or challenging hegemomic masculinities of the frontier?. Tourism Culture & Communication, 18(1), 67-80. - Rossi, E., Thulemark, M., & Duncan, T.

Each of these papers represents a step forward in understanding, advocating for, and empowering women in various aspects of society. We're proud to be part of a community that strives for inclusivity and gender equity in every field. Let's continue pushing boundaries, breaking barriers, and celebrating the achievements of women everywhere.

Has Switzerland Achieved Gender Equality? A Recent Study Reveals a Perception Gap Between Men and Women, reports Le Temps The third National Barometer of Equality indicates a significant perception gap between Generation Z men and women regarding gender equality in Switzerland. According to the study, the majority of men believe Switzerland has achieved gender equality. Specifically, 67% of men think that housework is shared equally between genders, and 71% believe that women have the same career opportunities as men. In stark contrast, Gen Z women see the situation quite differently. Only 40% believe in equal sharing of housework, and just 48% think career opportunities are equal. The perception gap widens further concerning salaries, with only 20% of women agreeing that pay equality exists. What explains this disparity in perceptions? Firstly, many women have personally experienced gender discrimination and harassment, either at work or at home, whereas men are less affected by these issues. Additionally, young women feel safer and more empowered to speak out against violence, harassment, and discrimination, partly due to movements like #MeToo. While gender equality is making strides in Switzerland, this study underscores the ongoing need to advocate for gender equality and raise awareness about the remaining challenges.
