'GENDER AND DATA'
COURSE
The implementation of equality measures always involves data handling:
in order to be able to determine the status quo, to provide convincing
arguments, or to define goals. In addition, data and indicators
are necessary when it comes to assessing progress in the gender
mainstreaming strategy.
Peripherie offers a three-day course teaching the basics of gender-sensitive
research, interpretation, analysis, and presentation of data. The
course focuses on practicability, especially catering for the participants'
needs.
The course has been designed as a follow-up project to the data
handbook and data coaching activities written and implemented as
part of the POP UP GEM scheme.
Duration: three days
Dates: on request

KLARA!
Network for equal pay and gender equality on the job market
Equal pay for the same job? For Austrian women, this is still an
illusion. Gender-specific income differences are still bitter reality
at the beginning of the 21st century. It is still a matter of fact
that women have lower incomes than men, across all sectors and occupations,
even when they have the same education and qualifications and the
same occupational status. In the EU, Austria is lagging far behind
in this respect. For various reasons, at various levels.
As part of the EU's EQUAL initiative, NGOs and government organizations
have formed the development partnership (DP) KLARA! Network for
equal pay and gender equality, with the aim of changing this situation.
In a common effort, they are building an Austria-wide network for
more income justice. Peripherie participates in focus groups concerning
equal pay and gender equality.

Gender mainstreaming

enterprises'
In Austria, social integration enterprises will be able to apply
for a recognised quality label as sign of distinction. The quality
criteria necessary for the awarding of this label are currently
being developed and tested in a pilot project. From 2005, all social
integration enterprises may apply for the quality label.
Mag.a Dr.in Doris Kapeller (Peripherie) has assumed the function
of gender mainstreaming representative within the development partnership.
This function comprises process guidance and assessment of the criteria
catalogue. This enables gender sensitivity both in the group process

POP UP GEM Gender-sensitive
regional analyses
Both women and men are concerned by measures of regional policy,
though in different ways. In the worst case, interventions at this
level could lead to the (re)production of inequality. On the other
hand, they may contribute to the promotion of equality between women
and men. Peripherie analyses the situation of women and men in areas
such as job market, education, and health and presents the results
in an understandable way, thereby supporting acting figures to introduce
an equality approach to their regional development schemes.

TOWARDS A CLOSING
OF THE GENDER GAP
In a case study involving three occupational groups, we analysed
gender-specific aspects of the payroll system, establishing a comparison
between the public and private sectors in the partner countries.
The study focused on gender-specifically relevant themes such as
in-company measures enhancing reconciliation between job and family,
in-company equality programmes, internal work organisation, working
hours, service contracts, and further training schemes. The results
were discussed at an international conference (November 2002 in
Oslo) among the project partners, and strategies for reducing the
gender pay gap were developed. More information at:
