Sustainable gender equality development in the labour market in Lithuania

However, Lithuanian civil society is rather weak; women in Lithuania are taking part in democratisation processes insufficiently, and due to ingrained gender differences womens as leaders in nations potential in economics, business and politics is not appreciated enough. Women‟s intellectual potential and input in not only the countrys competitive ability is not used effectively enough. Thus problems existing in different areas show that gender topics are still relevant and contain questions that still need to be tackled. So the article aims to provide the gender situation in the labour market and participation of women in decision-making processes are analysed, also issues of gender equality in respect to family policy is introduced, and results concerning the empirical study on “Sustainable gender equality development in the Labour Market” are presented. The object of this research is a different approach of both men and women to gender inequality, discrimination, career in the Lithuanian labour market. The aim is to analyse the factors governing/influencing gender inequality, discrimination regarding gender, together with career obstacles being the result of gender.
