2023
Kovačićek, Tihana | Bokan, Nikola
Gender equality is one of the EU's core values and the EU institutions have recognised the problem of inequality, recent literature shows that there has been no or little progress. This is particularly pronounced for women in rural areas. In both Croatia and the European Union, rural women face various constraints, their work is often statistically unrecognised and referred to as "invisible labour" and it is often difficult for women to find or retain suitable, stable paid work. The lack of studies on the economic and social obstacles faced by women in rural areas can be explained by the lack of official gender-specific data. Croatia's main policy documents for the period 2023 - 2027 do not include measures that focus exclusively on women. Diverse and detailed statistical data aimed at capturing crucial lacks in the current type of data should provide the necessary background for any policy making.
