Une publication de l’Insee fait le point sur les inégalités entre femmes et hommes aujourd’hui en France. L’ouvrage propose d’abord une vue d’ensemble sur les parcours des femmes et des hommes aux différents âges de la vie et les inégalités qui en découlent, avec un regard sur les régions. Différents aspects des inégalités entre femmes et hommes sont décrits : l’accès des femmes aux catégories cadres et cadres encadrants en début de vie active, les écarts de pension de retraite entre les deux sexes en Europe, le traitement judiciaire différencié de la délinquance des femmes et des hommes, les stéréotypes de genre.

By Jeannie Rea. Women still do not have the same opportunities in life because we are gendered women; and men do have greater opportunities compared to women of their class, race, religion, ethnicity, locality, age, ability, and virtually any other measure.
