Switzerland in particular has failed as a forerunner in integrating women in politics and economy. Taking Switzerland as a case study, the authors critically reflect the state of gender equality in different policy areas such as education, family and labour. The collection of articles reveals how gender policies and cultural contexts interact with social practices of gender (in)equality. They also outline the gender(ed) effects of recent changes and reform strategies for scientists, politicians and practitioners.Gender EqualityGender PolicySwitzerlandSwitzerlandSocial conditionsGender EqualityGender PolicySwitzerlandChild careDay careLabour economicsGender EqualityGender PolicySwitzerland305.309494Liebig Brigitteedt1780842Liebig BrigitteProf. Dr.edtGottschall KarinProf. Dr.edtSauer BirgitProf. Dr.edtMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910284441203321Gender Equality in Context4322343UNINA
