Recent socio-economic changes in Europe, the rapid spread of digital technology, and migration have a significant impact on gender equality. However, ETUCE studies reveal that less than 40% of the education trade unions deal with the gendered effect of the economic crisis and address issues of gender equality in social dialogue. To address these findings, ETUCE launched the project “Social dialogue and gender equality: Empowering education trade unions to address gender equality in the teaching profession through social dialogue” which aims to provide education trade unions with concrete tools and practices to address the challenges of gender inequality through enhanced social dialogue in the education sector at national, regional and local level. This two-year project (December 2017- November 2019) continues the work that ETUCE and its member organisations have achieved in this field and seeks to update the existing ETUCE Action Plan on Gender Equality (2010) while promoting concrete measures for its implementation at national and local level.
