In this open access book, the editors explicitly address the issue
of measuring gender equality. The book introduces readers to
basic concepts of gender equality, equity and equal opportunities,
then discusses measuring these phenomena, the methods of
constructing indicators, and reviews the main indicators that have
been proposed at the international level to measure gender
equality. It then sets the theoretical discussions against the
findings from a Jean Monnet project financed by the European Union
to highlight the importance of a regional analysis of gender
equality in four main study areas: Italy, Spain, France and
Germany. The results make it clear that it is necessary to move
from the purely national perspective hitherto used in gender
equality analyses to a regional one because differences can be
highly pronounced even within the same country. This is a
self-contained volume requiring limited statistical expertise for
the reader and is aimed at social researchers and policymakers who
wish to address gender equality from a quantitative perspective.
