The provisions on gender equality focus in particular on participation in the labour market (as reflected by the gap in employment between women and men), terms and conditions of employment (e.g. the gap in the use of part-time employment between women and men) and on career progression (e.g. the share of women in management positions and the low numbers of women entrepreneurs), all areas where further progress needs to be made.
Odredbe o ravnopravnosti spolova posebno su usmjerene na sudjelovanje na tržištu rada (na koje upućuju razlike u zaposlenosti žena i muškaraca), uvjete zapošljavanja (npr. razlike između muškaraca i žena u upotrebi rada u nepunom radnom vremenu) i na napredovanje u karijeri (npr. udio žena na rukovoditeljskim položajima i mali broj žena poduzetnika).
