Gender equality is one of the most important goals of the European Union. To achieve this, measures are taken both at national and European level. For several decades, the legislation of the different EU countries has developed in this direction. A review of these diverse policies, examining their successes and weaknesses in the world of work, will make it possible to open up avenues for more effective action to achieve fair gender equality.
Identifying the blockages and their causes, the successes and the reasons for them, both at the European level and at the national, sectoral and enterprise levels, should make it possible to better address the major challenge of fair equality with the support of far-sighted, pragmatic and committed social partners. Such a joint reflection could foster the emergence of a more realistic vision of the principle of equality, closer to the reality of the principle of equality and its implementation.
