Assessment of the European Globalisation and Adjustment Fund from a gender perspective – Framework contract IP/A/EMPL/FWC/2013-021/LOT1/C1

 This assessment aims at investigating gender differences across EGF interventions. By adopting gender budgeting principles, the analysis shows that there are at least four factors revealing different treatment of men and women in the implementation of the fund: a more frequent implementation of the EGF in male-dominated sectors based on the fact that the impact of the crisis by sectors is not gender neutral, the size of the firms involved in the interventions, and the prevailing productive structure by sectors. Apart from a general analysis, the study also includes detailed analyses of EGF cases in seven Member States.
